Will the wheels and tires fit my stock XJ? How do I find out backspacing? And how tall are these tires in inches?
any help is appreciated.

yes. search will pull up about 50 threads on the same topic including pics
WJ Rubicons(the new ones) have a different bolt pattern.
Thanks for the replies. For any future searchers answer is NO. not on stock height... need 3 -4" lift for them to fit w/o rubbing. And they measure approx. 30.5x9.5 Backspacing is 5" (I think). You can ride it on the street on stock height but will have serious rubbing.
:doh: I knew that,..They are JK Rubicons. The WJ is the Grand Cherokee and has no Rubicon trim in its line up.
That's strange. What year is your XJ? After I took the pic I posted, I took the jeep out(It's a '00) and drove it around(street and highway) to see how it worked. I had no rubbing on the street except at full lock, the front tire would just touch the bumper end cap. Drove into a concrete spillway to find out where it would hit. The front contacted the center/top of the flare, and the rear hit the flare and bumper extension well before the bump stops touched(like 1.5" off)..,not on stock height... need 3 -4" lift for them to fit w/o rubbing.

Really now?......For any future searchers answer is NO. not on stock height... need 3 -4" lift for them to fit w/o rubbing.

This ^ the trimming wouldnt be noticable unless you knew what to look forThey will rub at both full turn and flex. Bumpstop those bad boys and you should be fine.
