What size of spacers were you thinking of going with? Wheel spacers will put more stress on wheel bearings, but as long as you don't go too big they should still last fairly long.

Keep in mind the manufacturers normally state something like this; "Do not use on station wagons, trucks, vans, RV's, off-road vehicles or trailers. Longer studs or lug nuts may be required".

Prices range up over $150.00 per pair though you'll find a lot of the universal application spacers for under $25.00 a pair.
For instance these, are probably the top of the line at $365.00 for a set. The spacer shown is for a F150 and the 6 lug set is the same price.
