Default wheel spacers

I'm not sure if I want to leave the stock appearance of the stock wheels with 32" tires. I do like the looks of the wider stance. I'm considering the thought of wheel spacers. We'll say the 1.25 " spacer. What are the pros and cons? Do they put to much strain on bearings etc? How or would they affect warranty?

Do a search on "Spidertrax" since that is the most unique search name, but in a nutshell, I have read every post I can find and do not see any substantiated adverse affect from spacers that you wouldn't have with 4.75" backspaced wheels anyway.

I will be going with them too, but not until I decide to buy new tires.

As long as you get hubcentric spacers that are not over 1.75" it will be fine. I believe that spidertrax is hubcentric. I just went by their shop last week. Cool guys and great products. I would go for it
