Default Some upgrade purchases I am considering for my 2008 jk unlimited Sahara need opinions

Jeep is all silver including hardtop, procomp complete chrome wheels 18 x 9.5 and Procomp 35 x 12.50 x 18 AT XT tires, tires stick out to far for MI winter with 4.5 backspace, and i believe the chrome wheels will not like the salt?
Only has a Zone 3" lift I am adding a .75 spacer and warrior F trackbar relocation bracket this week.

Primarily street driven 99.5%

1. Body Armor F bumper new style or ORF or Smitty XCR.
2. 8500# Winch Smitty or Rugged ridge $300
3. 35" mud snow tire with wheels that can handle salt Primarily Black style, any one try Federal MT ?
4. What brand flat fenders are best would like more coverage.
5. reasonable solution to carrying a 35" spare Bumper/Tire carrier.

Any educated opinions on the upgrades would be helpfull, would consider used equipment if priced right.

Have you considered trying WOL'd write up to cut your fenders. If you don't like the way it looks you could always order the flat fenders. This way you could put the 500 towards a tire carrier.
