1988/2013 Jeep Tires
I have an 88 Jeep Cherokee and I am going to put an 4.5 inch lift on it. There's these tires I am interested in off of a 2013 Rubicon. The tire demensions are 255/75/15 (31 1/2 inches tall). Will they fit? And is the offset the same? What do you recommend I do?

The tires will fit. The wheels will not. As long as your wheels are 7 to 8 inches wide, you shouldn't have a problem. Your XJ has a 5X4.5 bolt pattern, while the Rubi has a 5X5 pattern, I believe.

The Rubi tires won't fit his rims either, he has 15" wheels, the Rubi most likely has 16" or 17" wheels.

You could always get a spacer/ adapter to change the bolt pattern and yes, it's a 17" Tim on the rubicon. It's also a 5x5 pattern
