The OE size for 80-01 Cherokees is 16x7 and 15x6 (depending on what model you get) so you are right there.
As far as off-set, they have a low to medium offset so it should be between 0 and +20 offset. Usually the +45, 40, 35 offsets are for front wheel drive vehicles.
Your steering is heavy probably because of the 18" wheels you are pushing underneath. Is it just hard to turn the vehicle or are there other symptoms that makes it feel like the steering is awkward. Did you get the tires balanced when they were mounted, that could of cause the rig to move to one side.
Hope some of that helps somewhat.
oh.....Rough Country lift? What are you talking about. Get a 4.5" long arm kit, 33's and call it a day already,
j/k

What I meant by "pushing underneath" is just how much heavier those wheels might be over stock comparison. I know that when I did my upgrade to 32's the steering felt a bit heavier than it did when I was driving stock.
Were you able to figure anything out as of late?
Have a good one,

That looks really nice with those 18's on it. Too bad you weren't able to get it to rid right. Your XJ is looking really cool.
Have fun installing the header, i've helped a buddy of mine install his since he got the infamous cracked manifold an it took us a little bit of time (a lot of stubborn bolts and tight spots to wrench at).
I hear the 4wd.com muffler is pretty nice. I am planning on running their cat-back setup once my decides to take a dump on me. They have a stainless and regular cat-back set ups for a decent price and the muffler they run isn't too loud.
Have a good one,
