I put 1-1/4" spacers on my rear wheels but that was just to match the width to the front. How would spacing the wheels out actually give you more tire clearance?

If body rub is your issue, you'll have to lift... with spacers you may actually end up rubbing the body instead of the frame...

What about 22" wheels. My front wheels scrub my center link when I turn deep. Any suggestions?
