I believe backspacing is between 3.5 and 4.5, but I'm not 100%

They sound like they might fit if you go to tirerack.com they will give you rims sizes that will fit. If the lug pattern is the same they should.

I've heard guys run 4" with bigger tires like 33" 30". Measure the back spacing on your factory wheels. ChaCha!

they will bolt on, but they are 16 inch, so you'll need new tires if yours are 15 inch.
also, they should be 7 inch wide with about 5.25 inch of backspacing.

so in reality, they are no different than stock xj rims, but only in 16 inch.
they would work if you are only running stock size tires and suspension.
otherwise, i would pass.

get some steelies that are 15x8 with between 3.75 and 4 inch backspacing.

this ^. I would pass since you plan to lift the rig. the backspacing is wrong for a lifted rig

Most factory rims coming from chrysler are 6.25" backspacing (atleast the Wrangler and Rubby rims are)
