Default Wheel spacers

I am trying to see what kind of wheel spacers i need. Should i go with an ich in a half spacer to make my back tires line up with the front? I hate that the rear tires are sunken in more than the front.

I did 1.25" billet adapters on my truck just to even them out with the front.

are there any problems with the wheel spacers, are they dangerous for off roading at all? I've heard that they're not a good idea but i was wondering if i could get another opinion because i have the same problem where the back tires are too far in compared to the front

I've been running 1.25" spacers on the rear for a few years now with a number of miles off the beaten path. No adverse effects thus far. Though, I can't really say they have "improved" offroadability.

Yep, I just invented a new word...lol

One thing though you have to have the torsion bars tweeked or you will rub even with stock tires (235/75/15) And I do have a 3 inch body lift . The 235/75s rubbed with just the camaro wheels so I bought he body lift the same time I bought the wheel spacers so I really didn't do much but get a wider stance .
