Thinking about putting wheel spacers on with the stock tires. Anyone have it done or any concerns? Just want to widen the stance up a little bit!

I wouldn't do it for 2 reasons . It will load your bearings more and depending on the spacer thickness you may not have enough tread on the lugs. Wheel spacers are illegal in Australia . Different offset wheels will be much safer but still put more load on your bearings.

I would definitely not mess with it. If it's a good trailer, let her be! Trailers are, by no means, a piece of sophisticated engineering - but at the same time, they designed a certain way and they work perfectly well that way. Don't mess with it.
If it's the wrong trailer for the boat, consider looking for a new trailer.
