My bad, I mis-read the profile, thought it said 65

But yes i agree new wheels are best bet, although to get sensible backspace clearance they'll lneed to be custom made.

Currently I run 8 spoke steel wheels with 3.5" of backspace clerance and a 1" wheel spacer. The wheel's I'm having made will have 5" of back space clearance

Spacers work well, and as long as you check them every now and again they should be fine, just make sure you go with a quality brand. The only reason I'm ditching them is I can't enter any ARC (Association of Rover Clubs) events with them on.
