Default Wheel Spacers?

Hey Everyone, So its time for new tires on my truck I am replacing the stock 265/75R16's with 31x10.5's. I would also like to have my wheels/tires stick out a bit beyond the fender flares and was looking at wheel spacers both front and back. Are there any problems with running wheel spacers such as these?: http://www.ezaccessory.com/ProductDe...de=6450%2D6450Thanks guys,
-dave

I have some 1.5" wheel spacers...I call them more "hub extenders" as they are bolted to your hub using the existing studs. I had to use them because the wheels I wanted did not come in the offset that would fit 33x12.5" tires. I have had them on now for about 15,000 miles, including some serious off-road time, and have never had a problem.
This is an example of what I purchased:

I am not wanting to buy new rims, will the stock rims work just as well with these adapters?

I know a guy who makes all kind of spacers. He makes them to order and they are kick butt.
