"wheel spacers"

I got some new wheels the other day and told the guy I wanted an 8" width as thats what I had on there and was happy with. Turns out he orders a 10". They look a bit better width wise so I think but turning is horrible. I used to be able to cut it fairly sharp considering 35" tires, 3.5" suspension,and 3" body lift. Now I can barley turn into a parking spot w/o getting major rubbing. Would it help any if I bought "wheel spacers" to push the wheel out a bit more or would it do more harm than good making my truck look like a vato-mobile with tires sticking out 6" on each side.

Theres nothing wrong with the tires sticking out... my friend has a Jeep that the tires are all the way out of the fender and he's running 39's. With the bigger tires, its going to be hard to turn sharp anyways... the wheel spacers will help with the rubbing but might make it harder to turn in a smaller radius
