can anyone tell me if the cherokee and grand cherokee are the same fitment

 

yes, they are both 5 on 4.5 bolt pattern.

depending on year of grand cherokee tho. newer ones are 5 on 5.

what year of grand are you talking about?

 

i run a van site in the uk and 2 members have cherokee wheels one has his fitted and the other doesnt but thinks his are a different pcd

they would both be older type alloys

 

93-98 jeep grand cherokee (zj) are 5 on 4.5 bolt circle, the same as all cherokee's (xj)

99+ jeep grand cherokee (wj/wk) are 5 on 5 bolt pattern and will not fit the older jeeps.

also, older 15 inch rims might not fit over the later zj brakes with 16" rims.

 

x2 on the brake fitment. I found this out the hard way when I bought a set of stock 15 inch rims for my XJ, almost new tires. Put them on and wasn't able to move - turns out I have a rear axle off a Grand Cherokee (unk year) with rear discs, and the calipers rub on the back of the wheel.
