They bolt right on but they rub with 265/75-16. You will want to use spacers.

I have a 3 in on it I just always liked those wheels but I hear spacers will out major strain on transfer case

No that is false information. Spacers put no strain on the transfer. And little on the wheel bearings. I run them with no problems.

I agree. Wheel spacers put no strain on the transfer case. A lot of members here run wheel spacers without any problems. My only advice is to use ones that are Hubcentric and not Lugcentric. Hubcentric ones center your wheel properly on the axle hub for perfect centering and zero chance of movement/shifting. Whereas lugcentric ones are only held center by the wheel studs and not the hub increasing the chance of shifting or breaking the studs.
