wheel spacers-good or bad?

I was thinking about installing wheel spacers to widen my trucks stance and aid with eliminating radius arm "rubbage" (wide tires). Will these adversally affect the performance of my vehicle in any way?
Anyone have any experience with these? Which are better, aluminum or steel? Where can I find them?

they put more stress on your balljoints and bearings but that would happen with any solution to rubbing so big deal. They arent street legal. I am thinking of getting some for the same reason but theyre so expensive i might just get some steel wheels for cheaper.
