NO WAY! Apart from the major legalities with them, there is other reason's why i don't want them.
-Bigger scrub radius
-Increase in bearing wear
-More guard cutting and bar chopping
-Stick out like dog's balls
How have you over come this issue? Or do you not have this issue?

Yes they do stick out past the arches but we have wheel arch extensions on to cover them
they still go up inside the arches on flex due to the 4.5" spring lift but occasionally the outer edge of the special tracks (very aggressive muds) catch on the inner edge of the wheel arch extension but as we are usually in 4low on a rocklobster over big twisties the speed is low enough not to cause any damage
cant say if bearing wear is any different than on just 31" with out them have only fitted one front so far in the last 18 months but then ours is an off road toy only
they are not illegal in the UK........yet
if you can't legally fit spacers then your other alternative are greater offset wheels
