I just tried to put new wheels and tires on my 2000 cherokee and the center holes in the rims where the hub sticks in are too small for my stock hubs. Will wheel spacers fix this problem? It's only the front ones, the rear ones fit on fine but the front hubs are a little bigger.

yes and no, depending on the thickness of the wheel spacer it may allow you to clear the hub but it may also create a rubbing issue on your body depending on the offset of the wheel and the tire size  
if it ain't dirty, you ain't doing it rite, RNC club motto

Yeah they worked but now I gotta cut the front part of my fenders a bit cause they're rubbing pretty bad whenever I turn. Thanks for the reply.

What worked? Spacers? Or did you find another solution?

The spacers worked, I just got a set of 1.5 inch billet spacers that kept the same bolt pattern. The only problem I had was that the lugs on the spacer were a different size than the lugs on my axle so I just used the lug nuts included with the spacers to bolt on the wheels and bought shorter lug nuts to bolt on the spacer.

I think the wheels you got were for a Ford Ranger... though the are the same bolt pattern I believe the hub is slightly smaller.

Yeah the kid I bought them from said they came off his ranger, I just knew the bolt pattern would fit, didn't even think about the hub.
