Re: Wheel spacers vs offset rims, which is better?

Just looking into getting some new wheels (mainly for offset reasons) but am frustrated with the choices.  All 12" rims only come 7" wide.  I can buy 14" rims that are 6" in front and 8" in back, but am limited to tire selectio.  Do spacers put on any more pressure on the suspension than offset wheels?

Thanks.

Spacers do add more stress to the wheel bearings, I personally do not like doing what you are asking of either way but between the two I would go with the offset rims before doing spacers. The only real way to properly widen the stance is a long travel kit but that is much more money......
