I've run several sets over the years and there's nothing to worry about.
Just keep up on maintance like with anything else.
Stay away from cheap knock offs.
Some say there not go to run but I think there fine and have held up to 35s.
Some states there not legal but honestly I don't know how you would get caught.

All they are....Band Aids to cover up a wound/flaw. Just buy a set of wheels from Summit or Jegs under $50 each and do it right the first time with the correct BS and wheel size for the tire.

I have aluminium offroad wheels with 3.25" backspacing and am considering spacers to widen my stance a bit. I don't mean to hijack, but this is on topic: Anyone see a problem with that?

Not all aluminum rims are equal,Unless they are forged or billet aluminum they are cast,And off road your more likely to break a cast aluminum rim then a steel rim.Only way i would run aluminum rims off road is forged beadlocks.

^ That is why I have a set of five. I imagine terrain is the deciding factor, I do not have a rock or boulder within 200 miles. All sand or soft forest ground, and marsh.
Some of the wheels we carry are less $$ than a spacer -

But we do carry spacers, Spidertrax are one of the more popular -

Well I just finished installing my notch customs flares and I would like the stance to be a little wider... Like the maroon jeep in this picture. Mine is quite a bit more narrow, and I think a little wider looks a lot better plus I wouldn't mind a little added stability.
If you got the money most rim companies will custom make a rim in any backspacing you want.But once they make it to the specs you give its yours so make sure its right.The jeep in the picture look up a build on it see if it has 1 ton axles or not and what wheels they are running.
