Also, I saw it but can't find the comment again but someone mentioned skinnier tires looking "weird" being pushed out further. In honesty you'll actually provide not only a more aesthetically pleasing look to the vehicle but you are also increasing stability especially in cornering which aside from aesthetics that's what wheel spacers were for was creating stability in performance related cars.

GM for the longest time of advertisement for its "Wide Track" Grand Prix was "Wider is better". Ford took the same approach and attributes to the 89-97 Ford Thunderbird (AKA Thunder Chicken) which lent to its great handling charateristics which have been referred to that as a hammer-head shark feeling while driving as the vehicles stance in combination with both an upper strut tower brace and a stiffer lower brace between the lower control arms or K-frame like engine cradle gave it a linear and flat transition around corners without negative outward lean.

Both vehicles had immensely great handling. Not that many of us are doing near 1G skidpads in our trucks but for the efforts of cornering and looks, thought I'd throw that out there too.
