you might have a 16 in rim. why dont you check your tire? The R is your rim size

If it is a classic, limited, or a sport it came with 16 inch rims.

Here's a site (http://www.jeep.com/wccsapp/universa...ull&category=U) Ask them for the build sheet. It will tell you everything it originally came with.

The number after the R on your tire is the rim size, and yes, R means radial but the number is still the size of rim it fits on.

My 99 sport came with 15 inch rims as well. I dont really have a good picture but this will do. P235/75/R15

Technically, the number after the "R" is the rim/wheel diameter. Rim size, for example, would be 15 X 7 or diameter and width.

its all irrelevant because the OP wants to know if the tires in the CL ad will fit and no XJ came with a 16.5 rim
12.5 by 16.5 rim
