Default Forced to make a difficult decision

Bought some wheels from a friend
put one on to see if i like them, and to be 100% sure there were the right lug size.
Bought some lug nuts; Awesome!
Bought some fat tires with warranty for a really good deal; got a discount from a friend.
Put them on and loved the way they look and sit out,
but i forgot to make sure the wheels would turn when tightened all the way, which they DONT.
so now its either buy spacers or sale them.
I need yalls opinion would spacers be too much and stick out too far and look like a lowrider car lol?
i like the way they sit right now but do yall think an extra .5" to 1" out would be too much?
here are some pics with no spacers

If they are rubbing then it generally means your tires are too wide. Can you exchange your tires? This would be the correct solution to solving the problem.

actually its usually the offset of the rim. the tire can only be as wide as the rim its on or it wont fit correctly.

so it is the front that hit? is it the tires or is the rim hitting the front brakes that is real common with the welds and some light work to the caliper bolts and the pad retainer clip fixes it right up with no spacers needed.

yeah i bought some spacers for 20 under the table haha.
they did not stick out the tires that far it still looks decent.
but i might try to modify the brake stuff thats in the way so i can remove the spacers haha.
thanks guys
