I was thinking about going with 32's but the only problem is i dont want to spend like $400 to get the bushwacker flares because im afraid with the rims i have now (Cragar Black window wheel 4" backspacing) with 32's will stick out too far and then i will get a fix it ticket( I live in MD)

32's are usually 11.5" wide. Here's what they will look like:
I have 15x7 4" backspaced cragers and 11.5" wide swampers. I'm from PA and they are strict about tires sticking out past the fenders. I got pulled over in the TJ with tires 2" outside the fender but I haven't been harassed with the xj. They don't stick out that much, maybe 1" in front, and are tucked in out back.

31s wont look bad. I have an RE super flex kit and run 33s(trimmed sheet metal), but DD a set of stockers and 31s. Looks kinda goofy trimmed but may look ok with stock plastic.

We're running a set of Toyo Open Country AT's that say 31X10.5 on em, but they only measure 29.5" tall with full inflation. That's a pretty far cry from advertised height.
Those true 31" tall LTB's wouldn't fit on this rig and a 3" lift without doing some semi-serious fender trimming.
Ahhhh Greed. She's got a nice stance alright.
