LR only supports rulers in the Print module, where you need them for sizing work to fit the paper it's going to be printed on.
When you set the crop tool to a specific proportion in LR, you'll notice that the lock icon in the cropping panel is locked. That means that no matter how you change the area included by the crop, it will stay at those proportions. You can then print it to whatever size output you want, based on resolution and quality. If you click on the lock icon to unlock the specific proportions, you can then adjust the proportions any way you want for a custom-shaped crop.
