Default Steel Rims for a 89

OK, a beginner question here.......
I have a 1989 Cherokee w/15 in. 10 spoke allow rims. Would really like to get 4 extra rims for snowtires because work requires me to show up no matter what! I put a 2 in lift on but with street tires she can get a little squirley in the deep snow/ice packed roads arpound here.

I would like to find four all steel rims, 15 in., but not the stock Jeep rims with the cut outs.......just plain military style steel rims. What years and models will fit my bolt pattern?

Next to where I ride horses, there is an older jeep with one of these plain steel rims siitting in a field...........but will it fit my 1989? I know that this is just about when Chrysler took over from AMC Jeep.
Any Help? Thanks,

you need a 8-9" wide rim, 5 on 4.5 bolt pattern, 3.5-4.5" backspacing

Grand Cherokees had different patterns on some years.
