The back spacing may be different than an XJ but I'm fairly certain they are the same.

If you are running stock or near stock tire size it won't be an issue at all.

Yeah you should have no problems at all... and I am pretty sure early 2000 wranglers have the SAME wheel dimensions. Good luck with the wheels man, I think a lot of the wrangler rims look pretty sharp.
