What wheels will fit my 97 Grand Cherokee?
I have a 97 Grand Cherokee Limited. The tires that were on it when we bought it are 235/70/16. I only put maybe 5k miles a yr on the Jeep and tires will dry rot before I wear them out so i was looking for some used tires. I ve found several tire/wheel combos on craigslist but dont know which Jeeps will fit my bolt pattern or what bolt pattern I have now.
Could I go to a 225/75/16 or 245/75/16 on stock wheels?
I tried a search and didnt come up with anything. Any help is appreciated.

The bolt pattern you have is a 5x4.5" or 5x114.3. There are many different auto companies that share that bolt pattern. 5 lug Mustang from 1964-2008, Ranger from 1973-2008

As far as tires, unless you want the headache of having your speedo off I would stick with same size tires. If you go with bigger tires there are new speedo gears you can get to make the speedo more accurate.

Agreed, I have 33's on mine and the speed is only hard to keep in check on the highway (the difference is based on a percent not a fixed figure) where when I'm going 65 it's more around 69-70. Around the city it is hardly noticeable. I've checked with radar displays and I'm only off 1-2 mph at 30 mph.
