Yes adding wheel spacers makes the quad more stable, since you are making the foot print wider. The only extra stress would be on the wheel bearings(I think).

Do you currently run stock wheels or aftermarket wheels?

New rims would be the safest bet, 4-3 offest. You get more style, you will get a 1 inch offest over stock per side, the front rims will be one inch wider over all and your brake shields will be inside the rim where they should be.
