Would like to add Terrafirma 30mm wheels spacers from Rovers North, but not sure if this would harm anything(bearings, etc..)?
Are Wheels Spacers Safe?

What happens when the suspension drops?
I am against changing even the tyre size so you can guess my view on spacers.
Any change from factory changes the geometry and moment effects - tyre mass and where the centre of mass is located is a big factor in suspension design. This reality applies to any vehicle but the 3 has one very unique additional aspect, the air suspension.
Consider where the top of the tyres will be when the suspension is down on the stops.
The Jeep guys who were way behind you really find the scene entertaining as they bounce themselves past your immobile lump.
