Default Want 35's but have problems

Currently have 325/60r18 on 18x9 and 2" wheel spacers to clear my control arms. Basically my issue is that my wheels have 6" of backspacing and tires hit my control arms. Is there any way i can get away from my 33's and my 2" wheel spacers and get 35's without going with too narrow of a tire bscause i want them to hang out a little but not as much as they do now???

go with say a 35x12.5 tire instead of the 325/65 that you would need for a 35" size tire...why not go with new wheels?

Ive read you cant clear 35x12.50 with a wheel that has 6" backspacing it has to be a max of 5.5"backspacing. The wheels i have now are only a year old and i was trying to stay away from having to get new wheels because i dont have the money for both wheels and tires

Can you sell or trade your wheels?

Cheaper than new rims are smaller spacers.
