New wheels are less expensive. I bought all 5 of my rims for $200 shipped. You can only buy 4 spacers for that much.

If you want to keep your stock wheels, there is ABSOLUTELY NOTHING wrong with wheel spacers. If anyone else tells you other wise, they're talking out of their ***. They are perfectly safe as long as the instructions are followed during installation.

Well I already have the spacers.. have a serious vibration goin on at certain times on the road not sure if that could be caused by the spacers or not. Can you recommend any good tire and wheel websites?

I run them and have no problems with them. They are safe. Torque them to 100 ft/lbs and re-torque them after 50 miles and you'll be ok.

Also make sure your tires/wheels are properly balanced. Some tires are harder to balance (like TrXuS MT's). Bigger tires especially.

Keep moving forward. But keep an eye on history, for if you don't, you are doomed to repeat it.
