Default Which is better?

Ok so when I get my 3 inch lift I will be running 31'' BFG AT's. Heres my question, I know i can put these on my stock rims but they will rub at full lock, so is it better to buy spacers or buy rims for a lil bit more? The rims would be 15x8's same bolt pattern and probably just some cheap Cragars or something.

Pay more upfront for the new wheels...or you'll end up paying more for parts as the spacers put more stress on the hubs and ball joints.

Spidertrax is the only wheel spacer company that makes a wheel spacer that is worth a crap. I'm not a fan of spacers but if I had to run them I would pick spidertrax. New steelies are usually cheaper than a good quality wheel spacer. Save yourself the trouble and just get new rims.

yeah just go with wheels. i got a set of 15x8 cragar V5's for 230 shipped from summit. im in ohio so i had to pay tax, so if you arent in ohio you could save another 15. I didnt get center caps. but im looking into black ones. but those will set you back another 50 ish.

That is an opinion and should be stated as such.
