Default Spacers or new rims...

So, im getting tired of my 35s rubbing the frame with a 3 inch body lift so im thinking if I got some wheel spacers it might fix the problem.

Either that or new rims. I dont really wanna buy new rims but if thats what it takes I will. If I get rims what should be the offset and backspacing I would need? Any ideas on which rims to get? Any help is appreciated.
Heres my truck.
