Wheel spacers for ME are not an option on a 4-wheeler. I will not add the stress to the components. Other take the risk and that's OK. It's their truck.
If you want to run the bigger tires you'll need to add the trim packs to the rear and trim the front more.
Also note the tire model makes a difference. The BFG AT's and MT's fit fine. I've heard some with real wide lugs rub even more.

Thank you so much for the reply. I understand that I have to adjust my torsion bars a little bit more, however I am more concearned with tire to upper A arm contact in the front! I am also reluctunt to use the spacers, but don't know what else to do. These wheels cost me a lot, so I have no way back. I am planning on BFG MT KM2s by the way. So I guess I ll just have to order the tires and see how they fit. If anything I will use the spacers. Thanks again.
I also found it interesting when you discribed the adjustment of the front end to maintain the maximum lift while preserving the droop. Did you do it by feelings, or by precise measurements. I am asking because I read in the OME torsion bars user guide that the amount of droop should be between 50 to 70 millimeters. I was wondering, when you raised you front as you mentioned 2,75", how much exactly is the droop? I had my torsion bars adjusted and we measured a droop of 55 millimeters, and I was thinking if I raise the front a little more and have the droop decreased to 40 millimeters, will that be ok. What do you think?
