Wheel Spacers

Does anyone know of a good wheel spacer that wont compromise load capacity? I have 35's on a 4in. lift and I rub when i turn to sharp. If i put spacers i need to put them on the front and back so that the truck doesnt look weird. Any suggestions of ideas????

Have you pulled any heavy loads with them? If yes, how have they held up?
