^^^ x2. Here in MD a bumper is to be as wide as the body. I've made bumpers that were less and never got hassled. Our law also says a wheel opening must cover 180 degrees of the wheel. How can that work on a Willys or even brand new Jeeps? When lift lits were new I got pulled over for that. Went to court and told the judge if he went to any new car dealership he would not be able to find a single pickup truck that had the body in line or lower than the wheel center. I think 16" short from edge of body sounds like asking for trouble. I've built them within 6" at each end
