You need to look for wheels that have a lug pattern of 5 x 4.5. Otherwise you will need adapters to make them fit.

I myself would look for a set of five OEM 15" alloy rims. And swap your 31" tires over. (I always liked the OEM five spoked dark Grey alloy rims) Until it is lifted that about the biggest tire, you can fit. Probably rubs now.

Yeah I am looking at those, but also some kind of 16 inch jeep rim for 31's when I get my lift. I kind of want to get rid of these wide 31s. Rub just on full turns

You only need an adapter if the lug nut pattern is anything other than 5x4.5. Some older Rubicon wheels have the same bolt pattern as the XJ, I think pre-2007 Wranglers have the 5x4.5 lug pattern. 2007 and up have a different lug nut pattern (5x5.5) and would require an adapter.
