1979 Jeep Cherokee Wheel Fitment Guide — What Works & What to Avoid
Your 1979 Jeep Cherokee uses a 6x139.7 bolt pattern with a 71.6mm hub-centric center bore. The stock setup runs 15x8 wheels at a 10mm offset. You can fit sizes ranging from 15x7 up through 18x8, giving you solid options for both period-correct looks and modern upgrades without sacrificing function.
Since this vehicle accepts only the 6x139.7 bolt pattern, verify any wheel you choose matches that spec precisely. The 71.6mm center bore is hub-centric, so if your selected wheel has a larger bore, use hub-centric rings to ensure proper fitment and balance. Aggressive offsets or excessively wide wheels risk rubbing the fender or suspension components, so stay within the compatible size range listed.
Every wheel we offer for your Cherokee is verified to bolt on safely. We ship all orders free to the lower 48 states, and you'll find excellent in-stock options from Vision, Work Wheels, Fuel 1PC, OE Wheels, Carolina Forged, LOCK OFFROAD, Enkei, and Icon Alloys.
