New wheels vs wheel spacers

I have a 2010 JKU Sahara, ordered a 2.5 budget boost today. My plan is 35x12.50 or 315/70 tires, most likely BFG KO2. My Sahara has 18" wheels, looking at maybe ordering 17" wheels and tires instead of buying the spacers.
Spidertrax spacers are about 200 for 4 and 5 wheels are going to be 450-500 not counting tpms.
My question is does anybody regret getting spacers or had any issues with them.
I'm trying to plan ahead on my purchases, thanks for your input.

There are a bunch of people on here who have ran spacers and still do run spacers and all seem happy. The only thing I would say to you is do you really want to stay at an 18" wheel? If you go down to 17 you will have more tire options available to you and be cheaper. In your case it might be worth it to get new wheels with the proper backspacing with the new tires you want over getting spacers. Just my opinion.

Another question. Can my factory wheel TPMS can they be put in aftermarket wheels? I plan getting Procomp 97 Rock Crawler steel wheels.
I have a Flashcal, but I don't think it give me a option to disable them. Guess I need to update it and see. Thanks

Yes. They will fit. My flashcal also did not. My girlfriend bought mine for me as a present not knowing theyre not compatible with Mac. We only have Macs [emoji58]
