Default Running stock rim question?

Ive seen all the pics and really like the way biggers tires look on stock rims i am wanting to run 35x12.50 with spacers i was just wondering if anyone running this setup has had any issues running such a wide tire on the stock rims since they dont reccomend putting 12.50's on such a narrow rim?

I put 45,000 miles on my 35" KM2's with stock 17" Rubicon wheels and spacers. Spare on tailgate. No problems.

What would you guys recomend as a good practice to keep spacers safe as far as tightness?
