Aftermarket Rims and wheel spacers

I have just put on a set of XD Addict rims and I am running 33" BFG MUDs on them. I used to have he factory rims with these same tyres fitted and used spider 1.5" spacers to prevent the tyres rubbing.

Now the new rims have 4.5" back spacing and the spacers aren't needed anymore. Will I cause damage to any of my steering components or wheel bearings if I run the aftermarket rims with the spacers?

The Rubi looks awesome with the wheels sticking out a bit more but I don't want to compromise reliability for looks.

the less back spacing you have, the more wear you will cause on your wheel bearing but, really, it's not even enough to be concerned with. you will be fine for a long time. your steering components will not be effected.
