Default quick question

Did a search on ZJ and XJ wheels and well you know. A zillion hits but not what I'm looking for.


Which is! I just bought some used 225/70R15 SnowTires with wheels for my 98 XJ but the seller told me they are off a ZJ.
They look a lot like the stock steel wheel I've seen on a lot of XJs

My question is will they work on my XJ alright? Backspacing the same or close?
Thanks o you Gods of the mighty Cherokee!

Those should be fine! If you want to make sure then flip the tire face down and place a straight edge across the rim and measure from it to the surface of the center of the rim. Then take one of your wheels off and do the same to it. You should get the same measurement.

I think the bolt pattern may be different from a xj to zj. think the zj has a wider lug pattern if my memory serves my correct. best advice is to try on on for fitment. make shure it fits.
