22x10 wheels spacers?

I am getting 22x10 wheels. I understand that the prefered tire size for those wheels is somewhere around 285 or 295. I love the look of the wide tires in the back on my 4.8 (315's)

So im wondering WHAT IF i put small 15mm H&R spacers for the REAR on my 22x10 wheels. Is that a good idea? Or is it very odd to do that and might mess with the tire wear, suspension and what not?

Suggestions?

I have 20mm spacers in the rear with my 22x10.5 ACS Type II's. I'm running 285/30/22's all around. The rear rims are flush with the body.

Here's some pics..

would you need longer lug nuts if you get spacers?

Yes,except in spacers that bolt on to your axle and accept nuts to mount your wheel.
