Can anyone help me out?

Obviously they're jeep rims but are they rubicon, Sahara...would they require spacers...
Can anyone tell me what type of rims are on this cherokee?

 

are those 16 or 17 inch rim? if its 16 inch, it's very likely from 04 or older wrangler rim, which does not require anything to change from 5x4.5 to 5x5 bolt pattern. It its 17, its from Wrangler jk where you will need spacer to change the bolt pattern.

I can be 100% sure but the photo looks like 17 to me.

 

They're 17's...

 

I don't know if 2" lift would be enough.

 

I will say right away that the choice of wheels and tires is quite a difficult process Tire sizes are presented in the form of codes for one reason: one tire size plus rim diameter is not enough to determine the correct tire model. The same is with the wheels, I did not understand for a long time, until I accidentally fell on one article from Automobible where everything was interesting written. tire sizes are not coded, can be in British or metric units, use some important numbers ... For example, 33 inches and 285 mm represent completely different sizes

 

those are definite JK Rubicon wheels. You'll need an adapter. I ran JK Rubicon takes offs on my 95. It had a Rubicon express 3.5 lift on it and the only trim I had to do was a small bit of the end of the plastic on the fender flares which was absolutely not noticeable.

 

Those are the Quadratec Moab wheel. https://www.quadratec.com/p/quadrate...r-yj-tj/silver
Looks like the Mamba version would bolt right on to the XJ.

 

That was ****ing awesome made me chuckle. Codes we will never figure out.
