What TIRES will fit? 97 XJ

[dumbagain]

just bought a 97 xj because my 90 yj rotted away.
i've got new bfg ats on the yj and was wondering if i could swap out rims and tires. the xj has factory rims and tires.

i am wondering if i can put the 235/75/15s from the wrangler onto the 97 cherokee and vice versa? without rubbing or cutting!

if i need a little lift, how much and what do you recommend?

this a daily driver not planning on any serious offroading.

235/75/15s will fit just fine. On stock set up.

I ran 235/15 Bridgestone revo's..fit fine stock no rubbing

so no problem with swapping the '90 factory 5 star rims and the '97 steel rims either uh? think they're both 5 bolt right?

oh forgot to ask...

my girlfriends 2000 xj should be alright with the 235s on her factory 5-star rims also i suppose?

Yeah, all XJ wheels will work. IMO, those would look pretty bad on a newer XJ though.

Check the backspacing on those. Not sure if they changed any from 90 to 97? But as for that tire size, yeah no issues good luck.
