Default Will rubicon wheels fit 89 XJ?

I found some Rubicon 17x 7.5 on Craigslist. They said they were 5 on 5 bolt pattern. I beleive my XJ is a 5 on 4.5 right? Would spacers work? It is a good deal so I would like to take advantage of it even if extra cost for spacers.

I thought they were. can I get spacers to change the bolt pattern? or will it push the wheels out too far and look funny?

well you could get spacers with different pattern but it depends how you look at things .. some people think they look good with spacers some hate that look
