Default Rubicon Wheels fit an XJ

Looking for XJ rims and came across some Rubicon Wheels that are supposedly 5 on 4.5. Does anyone know if these would fit? I'm not sure of the back spacing.

Thanks,

What size are the tires that come on the Rubicon Stock? I'm trying to stuff these in my pop's stock XJ.

Alright all,
I believe the tires that I'm looking to stuff under a 96 stock XJ (with some sag) are 245/75/16s which convert over to 30.5" tires. Now I've been on the forum long enough to know a few things, but the price is really good on these tires.

Please give me the final verdict...will these rub or will they fit. My vote is on rub.
