no, but you can get wheel adapters.

the rubicon wheels are 5 on 5, and your xj wheels are 5 on 4.5

Would the rim and tire combo hit my stock flares? And would they be safe for wheeling?

they're 32's, so you'd have to do a bit of a lift, maybe a bit of trimming. but the spacers are safe to use off road, mild or wild.

but i wouldn't spend too much on the rims and tires, the wheel spacers aren't really all that cheap.

you should be good with the spacers.. a couple months ago this was brought up, and i believe it was agreed that spacers are fine

I just bought a 99 cherokee with the same rim and tires. It rubs on the front corners a little bit with a 3.5" lift. The previous owner put the adapters on it and seems to work fine.

Another note I run the spacers 1 1/4 on my rubicon to space the tires out to keep from rubbing my control arms and have done some rought wheeling with them and no issues yet.
