Default Lift Kits & anti-sieze

OK I have two questions....
[ol][*]I got some anti-sieze on my black wheels and can't seem to get it off, it just kinds smears??.. any suggestions, that won't ruin the black paint on the wheel.[*]Can some people who have ONLY a 6" lift on their trucks (other mods are welcome though)either post some pics or atleast post something so I can check out their gallery pics. I noticed how resonably priced going 6" is, If I did it I would be trying to decide between 37's or 35's, any suggestions would be great.[/ol]
thanks guys-

Try WD-40. Not sure if it will remove the anti-sieze but it won't ruin the paint. 3M makes a adhesive remover that is paint safe too. Hope that helps.

Ya they are stock fender flares as far as I know. I bought the truck a 2 years old and it all looked completely stock to me.

AS far as rubbing goes, I do rub at full turns. But if you put some adjustable control arms on you are able to locate the axel in the correct place...so I was told.
