Re: Will Wrangler 16' rims fit my 94 Cherokee hubs?
 

Thanks for insights, guys. So, the '07 Wrangle rims should fit my
'94 Cherokee, correct? The bolt pattern is the same?

Thanks again.

Agreed. I just didn't do the simple math.

And, "slower" means that if the current speedo reading of 60 is really 56
(speedos typically read too fast so you can't complain to the officer that
your car made you get a ticket) then with the tire change, when the speedo
reads 60, the actual ground speed will be something like 58.5. Speedometer
science is not an exact one, so your mileage may vary ...

I agree with this point completely.

The main issue the OP will face is the lug bolt pattern and the offset, and
I am almost positive that both of these are not a problem. The lug pattern
is a 5 on 4.5 (5 holes on a 4.5 inch circle), and the offset is the same.
