Agressive square setup: Offsets or Spacers?

Trying to figure out which way to go with my new wheel setup. Plan on getting a square setup in either a 9" or 9.5" width. Would like to have the rears out a little more then the fronts for a more aggressive look.

I can either get a higher offset for the rears or run spacers. With the later, I would still be able to rotate my tires to save some tread.

Would I run into any xdrive problems with either of these choices? I know pushing out one set of wheels out further then the other two shouldn't effect the rolling diameter but I'm just making sure I won't damage anything else.

No problems at all... You can use spacers or just find wheels with different (lower means more out) offset.
