Default OEM jeep tires? rims?

Does anyone know if I can use a set of 2013 Wrangler OEM rims and tires on my 1998 Cherokee Sport?

Are they the same bolt pattern?
Will backspacing be an issue?

Thanks-

M = Medium Offset or RWD (Rear Wheel Drive) Typically +20 offset

Sorry about the format. For some reason it won't let me reformat. BTW, I got the info from here. http://www.vehicle-bolt-pattern.com/...nce-guide.html

If you REALLY want to, you can find adapters to fit the new 5x5" rims on to the older 5x4.5" Jeep style. They also function as spacers. A reliable set that won't leave your *** stranded is about $200.
