Wheel spacer question

My issue is when making sharp turns the front tires rub the long arms. Are wheel spacers a feasable solution or will they over stress the bearings and axles? Just wondering if anybody running spacers has had any problems.

Rig Specs:
1990 XJ
35x12.5 swampers on 15x10 (3.75bs) rims
Dana 30 front, dana 44 back
Rock control long arm kit
Rusty's 6.5" spring pack.
 
i think youd be better off just getting new wheels w/ 3.25/3.50 bs, wheels spacers are for f250's, i wouldnt put them on a jeep seeing any trail use but thats just me.

What he said. Also switch to a 15x8 wheel. If you are running steel rims they are cheaper to replace than getting spacers anyway.
