It was a weaker bolt pattern according to the Jeep engineers. I read a post on here that they decided this due to the strenght of the 5x5. Sounds to me like wind blowing up someones ....

It's your Jeep, but I agree with TripleJeep. The general rule of thumb is that the wheels should be about half the tire diameter. So, 18s would suggest at least 35" tires. And you'd probably be better off with 17" wheels and 35s. Remember: Sidewalls are protection for your rims from rocks, bumps, fallen trees, etc. Narrow is good in rims, too. Many of us run 8" rims because they keep the tire bead in place. Wide rims are more susceptible to losing a bead while wheeling.
Don't plan to wheel? That's cool. But why not at least keep up the pretense that you could, should you want, rather than desecrate a fine, off-road vehicle (all those clueless celebrities not-withstanding)?
