Default 18" wheels

I have a 2007 jeep wrangler x 2 door. It came with 16" tires with steel wheels. I bought 18" alloy wheels. Do i need to lift my jeep for these tires? I haven't had any problems. The wheels came off a 2012 jeep.

So... you now have 18" wheels (rims)? What size are the tires?

If they are the wheels and tires from a Sahara, then yes they will fit.

In that case no lift needed. I ran 285/65/18 before I got my 4" lift and 35's.

Exactly !
Stock Saharas come with 18" wheels and 255x70/18 (32").
No lift is necessary...

I currently own a Sahara with the eighteens, I will personally up my tires to a 265 70 18 because there is no tire selection at the other useless tire size
