Sure some off you grand and cherry owners know  8-)  
 One of the local game keepers has bought a very cheap 2003 grand crd and wants to change the tyres to mt or at , but as they are 17 s no good at all , i thought about putting 15 s on it as its much better tyre choice ,  so wil any cherry rims fit   , bet this has been done to death before , i know i fall asleep as soon a grands and cherrys are talked about  :smt044

It has the newer Jeep bolt pattern of 5 on 5" PCD - so the YJ, TJ, XJ wheels won't fit. Most owners seems to buy the 16" factory wheels and fit muds to them. 15" won't fit over the brake calipers anyway.

Ebay is the place to buy some cheap 16" rims.
