Wheel spacers

I just installed 33x12.50 BFG KM2's on my '98. I have a 4.5" RC lift and steelies with 3.75" backspacing. I take this offroad on some moderate rockcrawling trails. Should I add wheel spacers to widen the stance out? What are the pros and cons of wheel spacers? Any recommendations?

If it fits, leave it alone! There are no advantages to wheel spacers.
 
I wouldn't, especially with the back spacing you have already. I have spacers but because I have tj Rubicon wheels that have more backspacing. Wheel spacers with that backspacing will also put a lot of leverage on your wheel bearings, potentially wearing them out faster.
 
No I think he means steering geometry. and scrub radius.

Nothing to do with suspension on a solid axle car. :)
