New Nittos are rubbing on ball joints

I just had 35" Nitto Mud Grapplers mounted and the spacers i bought didnt fit so they are rubbing on my ball joints a little, my question is will this cause any damage driving like this until i can get the proper wheel spacers (and before i get jumped on for using them im only using a 1/4" spacer) to fit my truck? Thanks

I would wait until you get the right spacer, no sense in taking a chance.

even a small spacer is a bad idea

Hey man nice setup! You need to get some pics up of your truck. I have the exact same setup (including the 1/4" spacers) and would like to see what it looks like on someone else's truck.

Same thing here. No problems out of the spacers either.
