Is anyone running gambler rims with 35s? Did do you have spacers or wider axles? What are the limitations of spacers vs. wider axles in this setup? I have nostalgia for the gamblers, they were on my first TJ and I also want to run 35s. Planning on a complete frame-up build in the future and trying to figure out if the wider axles needed are worth it or if spacers will be fine.

Input from anyone running this setup (or with a 5.25" backspacing and 35s) would be appreciated.
 
Factory gamblers have between 5.25 and 5.5" of backspacing which is too much for 35x12.50 tires. The inside sidewalls would rub. 4" of BS is optimal so that'd mean spacers of 1.25 or 1.5". Personally I'm no fan of spacers but...
