Question Spacers for rims??

I was wondering, insead of buying new after market rims so the rims stick out on the side a little more, do they make spacers? Like put longer studs on and put a spacer of some sort on? The truck dosnt throw as much mud as wish it would. I dont know, it was just a thought!!

Spacers are a bad idea on an off-road truck with only 5-bolt wheels.

spacers arent good for daily dirivers, they create "scrub steer" and prematurely wear out your bearings and balljoints.

The tires will stick out more which throws rocks little and big into your truck. My truck has a **** load of marks form my new wheel. But I like the wheels and the bed line stuff will take care of that. No more chipped paint.
