I have a 2000 Cherokee sport and I am thinking about getting some new rims. I don't wAnt to lift the Jeep so I'm going to get size 15x8, and the stock wheels are 15x7. Will my 15x7 tires fit on 15x8 rims?

 

its not about the width of your rubber its about how you roll it


you will be alright

 

yes

 

15 X 7 or 15 X 8 are measurements that refer to the metal wheel.

It is not a tire size.

You are only going up 1" on wheel width, so unless you have skinny tires of the previous wheels, your existing tires should stretch enough to fit.

Vehicle lift or not is not a factor in this case.

Depending on your exact wheel offset, it may or may not rub on body/suspension pieces in hard turns.

 

Depending on the tires you currently have, you might want to think about upgrading those as well. I would suggest get new wheels/tires and sell your stockers.
