You own a cherokee. Dont be scared of a good grinder. those little wheel wells are very capable of stuffing 35's with a little bit of sparks, metal slivers, and sweat

After the owner told me he measured them and they were 5 on 4.5. Should I sell them or someone told me they made a spacer that i could put on it to adapt the pattern. I dont know if i want to mess with it and put the 3" lift on it or just put new tires on my ugly honeycombs.

And id look around you may be able to do both. Oh and where are you located? I have some slightly taller than stock tires and rims off my xj I need to get rid of. Rims are the classic holes. Lol dunno what they are called

...And the tire had too much articulation because you didn't use bumpstops.

We in the biz have a very technical name for those: 10 holes. 
To the other guy, check Craigslist for wheels. You can resell the ones you just bought and use the money to buy a set you like that will actually fit.

if its pretty mild trail riding you could get away with running 35's on a d30/8.25 combo.
oh, and cut your fenders and run 4.5" with 35's...

seriously though a 35 is too much for a d35 - it's only a matter of time till something breaks. It's pushing it on stock d30 shafts also
