Your tires will fit those wheels. The offset has no effect on tire size.

It does work in a similar way. However, it's not really a "perfomance" upgrade. People install snorkels so they can go into deep water without sucking water into the air box.

yea, it means you have a limited slip rear end. Good buy! Your picture confirms this.
You need special friction modifier fluid to add to the differential fluid when you refill it. I believe the amount required is 2 ounces.

The angle of the pinion on the rear axle needs to match the angle of the transfer case output. In case of a stock XJ, the angle is 0* (parallel to the ground)

I used 2 cans of the Dupli-Color Perfect Match + 2 cans of Dupli-Color Perfect Match clear coat. (The cans are smaller than normal rattle cans.)
