Introduction

Back before its hiatus and subsequent return to the American market in 2014, the Jeep Cherokee nameplate was one of the biggest in the off-road community for most of the 80s and 90s. The Cherokee XJ trim was a true icon, and it should come as no surprise that it continues to still be a popular choice today. You'll be adding to a long legacy of Cherokee owners if you ever come across an XJ, and if you do, you might be wondering - what fits it?

Today, we want to help you answer that question. Using data and builds sourced straight from our gallery, we'll show you the best wheels and tires to fit the Jeep Cherokee XJ, produced from 1984 all the way through 2001 - let's jump in and see what fits on this legendary Jeep generation.

Jeep Cherokee XJ Trim Bolt Pattern & Recommended Wheel/Tire Fitment Specs

Let's start our Cherokee XJ discussion by showing you what its standard bolt pattern is. For all model years of the XJ generation, it came with a 5x4.5-inch (that's 5x114.3mm) bolt pattern, so any wheels you find will need to have this arrangement in order to be compatible with the model.

The standard fitment range for the Cherokee XJ is as follows - make sure you're staying within these parameters and you'll be good to go:

• Diameter: 15-22 inches
• Width: 7-10 inches (7-11 inches in rear)
• Offset: -6mm to +32mm

Knowing all this, we want to show you our recommendations for the best wheel and tire sizes to fit your Cherokee XJ for off-roading purposes. We'll show you our favorite sizes for stock, leveled and lifted Cherokees to get all our bases covered - there might be some minor trimming or other modification work needed to get everything to fit properly, especially with larger tires, but it's all worth it to have a true monster to conquer the trails ahead. Check 'em out!
