How are you running 35s without wheel spacers or aftermarket wheels? 
How wide are your tires?
May I ask, why are you spending $200 on wheel spacers if you plan on getting new wheels with less backspacing anyway? 4wheelparts has a "Buy 3, Get 1 Free" deal going on right now. You could get 5 nice looking wheels for a little over $500. And if you sell your stock Moabs, you can offset that by quite a bit.

I run BFG AT's (315/70 - 17's on stock Moab wheels)without spacers. It is essential a 35.
Speaking of which, a lot of tire shops dont like messing with spacers but if your going to get some, then go with the kind that bolt to your rotors and your wheel bolts to them. Not the kind that just go between your rotor and tires.....Spidertrax 1.5" are real popular and do very well..I have a set still. They run about $100.00 for 2 roughly.

I only took mine off when I had a problem getting my tires rotated at a Discout Tire shop. They wouldnt touch the rig at all. For those that change their own tires its not a proble, but sometimes my timeframe wouldn't allow..So now Im just changing rims and tires again lol.
