Default Wants vs Needs - Best bang for my buck.

Just bought a 2011 Precedent that has a new set of wheels and tires.

The issue is that with the 3" lift, the 10" rims rub when I turn sharp.
I could fix this with a set of wheel spacers for about $90.

I would really like to have a set of 12" rims. That would also fix the problem and I could get the 20" tires that I wanted.

The question is, should I just spend the $90 bucks and be done with it or can I sell the 18x10's for enough plus the $90 and get close to having enough for the 20x12's?

Just can't make up my mind what to do.

Get the 12's and never look back..... well unless your backing up on your cart that is.

Have you considered 14 inch wheels?
I don't think this has been discussed yet....

It's the diameter of the tire that matters, not the diameter of the wheel.

This cart has 14" wheels but the tires are only 20" diameter. This cart is NOT lifted.
