Thoughts on wheel spaces? I've got some rubbing going on with my new 33 12.5s. Would wheel spacers be a good temporary solution?

Make sure you get hub centric... (these put the weight on the hubs... as it should be...) lug centric greatly increase the odds of sheering lug bolts...

the only spacers i would use would be the ones that replace the studs, they bolt to your factory studs and then have there own. alot of people i know with 3/4 and 1 ton trucks use them and have had no issues. but we all have hubs to help support the weight unlike the 150s.
