Kinda need to know what it's got done now before a suggestion is given on what to do with it. I've used the wheel spacers for quite some time and had no probs with them. And do you want to use your truck for rock crawling or just look like you do?

You can do just about anything and still drive it around town, it just depends on how you drive around town. Get a set of spacers from Marlin the type people are refering to are just plates that go on the exsisting studs, Marlins bolts to the original studs and then have their own studs that you bolt the tire to. About the only thing to do is a couple times you will need to re-torque them to make sure they stay on. I think some people put locktite on them too.

if you aren't comfortable with wheel spacers, you can get rims with different backspacing.
