Do you mean the stock Rene 16" rims? No KJ had stock 18's, just some KK's.

18" mud tires start in 33-34" diameters. Sorry bud, you're outta luck.
if you have 16s, go 225/75-16 for stock size.

honestly youll most likely run into width and major rubbing issues with those wheels. and the OME lift only gives you like 3" lift and that barely gets you a 32 inch tire i think.. ( correct me please tbj)

Only off roadish tire for a 18" tire for a KJ, it's a 30" overall.

you think that those Grabber AT 2s will ride without any rubs?
Stock, they will rub. Lifted, probably not.

you think it would hurt to add a set of 1" spacers?

If you want to go off-road, I don't think 18's are the wheels for the task. If you are gonna run two sets of rims / tires and the 18's are for street duty, cool.

are you wanting to wheel? if youre 100% road and no offroad then ya a spacer lift wouldnt hurt.

First off, the bolt patterns are different. While a couple people have done it successfully, it is a POOR IDEA to install LX-platform wheels on a KJ or any other vehicle that has a 5x114.3 bolt pattern. If you want chrome wheels, Cragar sells them in the proper bolt pattern in a 16 or 17".
If you're putting chrome 18s on a KJ you have no choice but for it to look girly. It could have tractor tires and it'll still look girly.
Sorry.
For the most part you're right. ITBJRC the LX platform wheels stick out further than the stock KJ wheels, and if you want an aggressive tire in an 18" size you won't find it until you get up into 33s or bigger, so your choices are limited to say the least.

Do those 18 inch wheels come with a Turban or hairnet?

LOL GUYS!!! i love chrome wheels as i said before on EVERYONE of my other 5 vehicles, they either have chrome 18s or 22s or 17s so i have no choice but to put chrome on the libby too... besides i got the rims for $80 and they r selling for over $500 on ebay so i couldnt pass them up.. and thunderbirdjunkie the chrysler bolt pattern is 5x115 not 114 which is no real problem ... eyehatetofu has a good point i can run agressive tires on my stock 16s cant i? and jus keep the 18s for hwy use that makes good sence.. but i still like the idea of spacer/adapters and the 2" or 3" daystar lift..... either way
