nope. WJ's have a 5x5.5 pattern and wranglers ('97-'06) have a 5x4.5 pattern.
Vehicles with 5x4.5:
-XJ
-ZJ
-MJ
-TJ
-YJ
-Some liberties
-Ford Rangers/Explorers
Vehicles with 5x5.5:
-WJ
-JK
-WK
-Commanders

nevermind about my last post it is kinda confusing to me i looked my 1999 grand cherokee up and it says the min rim size is 16" but the weird thing is i have 15" on mine and honestly no problems. they will fit but very little clearance around the brake caliper. as far as them being off a wrangler the patterns like said before wont match up but a 15 " rim will fit.

senior moment refference
I had never had a Jeep under the shade tree. That can NOT
be said again. 2002 Grand Cherokee .........
I am here to learn from jeep owners, wrenches and modifiers.
What I do have is a set of semi-off road tires in 235-65-15
that was on another 4x4 for less than 3000 highway miles.
The tires rolling are touring tires, mostly highway, quiet
hi-milage. They are 235-65-17.........So I snuck on here
to see if I could learn a little bit. One post stated a 99
Cherokee was running 15's without a problem. What about
2002 or 2003 or 2004. I have already found that Chyrysler
made driveline changes, although minamly from year to year.
What 15 inch rims will work on a 2002, IF ANY? Maybe the post
that NO 15 will work without clearance issues was from
experience on a 2002, 3 or 2004.....Just askin'.
I'm the newkid so please send a PM if helpful. Thanks.
