No, you might be able to fit 16's but I am not for sure about that. My 97' the brake assembly was 15 3/4" so 16" was the smallest! Don't worry about the cash and throw some 18's, 20's or 26's on it!!

16s is going to be the smallest you can fit on the 97-03s...

THat is why you won't be able to fine a 15 inch wheel in our 5x135mm bolt pattern.

I don't think the jeeps use a 5x135mm. I think they use the same bolt pattern as the Explorer. At least the Wrangler, Cherokee and Grand Cherokee did.

Wandell is correct. Jeeps have a 5x4.5 lug pattern. Same as Rangers, older Explorers and 2wd Yota's.

No, i didn't crank the torsion bars at all. Go with 35's, you will be happy. I did have to trim a little on the lower part of the valance, it took about 5 minutes.
