The purpose of the bud rims is to not put much weight on one side of the axle bearing so that you don't wear them out and have problems, your idea of the spacers will place an uneven load to one side and eventually lead to problems, if it were my truck and I wanted 40" tires I would either lift the truck/body or trim the panel/fender that it is hitting, which if not done properly can lead to more stress problems/cracks and may look unsightly w/ cut outs that don't follow the body lines, unless you spend money for fender flares. Another option is to buy tall tires which aren't as wide, thus giving you the stance/clearance you desire w/out all the problems. Of course another option is to convert the rear wheels to a duallie and buy a set of 6 tall mud tires for the bud wheels, which could run into $$ but the 16.5 tires are becoming more difficult to find in asst'd. sizes. If you have the tires, swap out the adapters, run the tires you have and don't destoy it off road until you come to a decision.
