You could always invest in some aluminum spacers to correct the problem, rather than buy new rims.

Are there any disadvantages to doing this? I'm just guessing, but it seems that it would not be as strong of a moutn as just having a rim with less backspacing. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

I have heard both sides of the story here (some like them, and some say stay far, far away from them). I have used them before, and never had a moments problem. I know a lot of the "Jeep" (dare I say thet word here) guys run them, and see no real issues w/ them. As long as you get the aluminum ones, and follow the intructions on torqueing them, you should not have any issues w/ them. Not as good as having rims w/ the correct backspacing, but a much cheaper alternative to buying 4-5 new rims. The last ones i purchases were from a guy on ebay called "sscramblin" I think, and they were about $160 for 4 w/ lugs. Anyways, good luck brother.
