Hello there,
i'm BRAND new to the cherokeeforum.
i have 2 XJ's and i plan on totally doing mine up and moderately doing my wife's up. My XJ is a 98 sport. i am actually buying a pair of the 17 jk moabs,
and 32's this weekend cuz i'm getting a KILLER deal on them. My plans are to eventually/soon put on a Iron Rock Off Road critical path 6.5 long arm kit, with shackle relocation in the rear.bumpers and roof rack, hack and tap sye and 2 inch iron man boomerang shackles. I REALLY want to see some pictures posted of xj's with 17 jk rubicon mob's on it !! I looked all over the internet and can't find many, i KNOW i'll be needing the wheel adapter's so please show pics of those too!! Thanks everyone. I'm looking forward to all your pics and comments.

 

Yes you will need adapters (pricey) 16" Moabs are a direct bolt on. 17"s are 5 on 5 and 16"s are 5 on 4.5, same as your XJ. Here are 16"s on my 2000.

 

yeah man i love the moab's i had the 16's on my old cherokee.
BUT i'm getting the 17's (which i LOVE the look) for $200 for all 5! so i'm not worried about spending a little bit of money to buy wheel adapters. I found a set of 4 wheel adapters on ebay for $135. made out of nice stuff too! BUT thank you for your post! i love your cherokee.
