Just for giggles, here's a couple of shots of my Chrome grill and backup lights.

Yep, the lights are fine for "light duty" wheeling becasue hte hitch gives them some protection, and they are metal, but combine articulation with rocks and they would be toast.

What sort of rubbing problems and what backspacing, any idea?
I know a couple guys had problems because they went to 8" wheels with 4" backspacing, but I'm going with 5" backspacing.

I just remember a few posts about rubbing with 8" wheels..

You might try emailing Glenn at RockyRoadOutfitters
and asking him what he thinks..
