You have to see where its rubbing. Spacers help if you're rubbing the frame or sway bar, which is common when running larger tires on stock wheels.
Those wheels probably have a more negative offset then stock which normally caused rubbing on the fender liner. Adding spacers in this case will make the rubbing worse. You might be able to raise the front via torsion bars .5-1" (then get an alignment)... might be just enough.
If you're rubbing the front fender liner you can trim the bumper support bracket and reshape the liner
If you're rubbing the rear fender liner, you can do a large or small "norcal fender mod" (google for instructions). When done correctly everything looks factory and you gain a lot of tire clearance. I've done this on all 3 of my GM trucks (and a few friends trucks)
