With wheel spacers you have a high safety risk. How do you know the lug nuts holding the spacers are torqued correctly? I know it sounds a bit silly but if nor torqued correctly your wheel can fall off while driving. If you want tire poke then buy different wheels. Much more safer that way

Also with that tire size and stock wheels with no spacers there should be no rubbing while leaving the crash bars. The crash bars are also there for a reason. Crash safety wich is more important then most believe
