Wheel Spacers

I have hubcentric rings on my F150. I also have a lift with 35" tires. The tires rub at full turn. I was wondering if it's ok to just get a 1/4" wheel spacer and put on. Would this affect my hubcentric at all? I think that 1/4" is really all I need to move the wheel out to avoid the rub. Can I install these without worrying about the hubcentric?

My other option is to try an get 1.5" wheel spacers that adapt the hubcentric rings. These are more pricey and really not my first option.

If it doesn't have new studs pressed in chances are you'll end up with a wheel going faster than you down the highway if you get what I'm saying.

I thought that all aftermarket wheels for the 97-03 trucks were lug centric?
