Default 2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee changing wheels

I bought my daughter a 2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo, it is in awesome shape and we love it. The current tires on it are 245 70r16 and are mostly bald. While looking for some different tires I found a guy selling his 2017 Jeep Wrangler wheels and tires (225 75r16), with only 10,000 miles on the tires. Both current tires (245 70r16) and the new set I want to buy (225 75r16), are OEM tire size for the 2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee, so it looks likes they will work. I believe the difference is that the Wrangler Rims will make the tires stick out a little more than they do today.

Below are the details I put together about the differences, I want to buy the 2017 rims and tires (listed below) for the 2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee listed below. It looks like the new Jeep Wrangler rims and wheels will work just fine. Thoughts? Things I should look out for?

Thanks for your help, this is new territory for me so not sure if I should do it.

Sorry the table did not copy very well to the post. The guy is selling the rims and wheels together so the question is will the 2017 Wrangler Rims and tires work on our 2000 Grand Cherokee.

Set of Moabs 255/75/17 will not fit stock, these rub all over the place.
But the smaller 225/75 should be great.

Thanks I'm going to contact the seller and bring the jeep over and see how they work/look. They are pretty much brand new tires and rims. Her rims are tore up and the tires are mostly bald. He's only asking $400 for all 5 rims and tires. https://minneapolis.craigslist.org/r...442637728.html
