Default Wheels and spacing 101

Lift is done, and I am ready for wheels and tires. I really prefer the look of the 15" Cragar Soft 8's. And as people have reported, some fit, some do not. If I were to order and they did not fit, would a 1" or 1.5" wheel spacer fix this problem?

Mine only rubbed by a little bit. So a little grinding and I was good to go. If you got yours and they didn't clear you would only need like 3/16 spacer to clear.

Not a big fan of the grinding, and I wouldnt be bothered by a wider stance. I could only find wheel spacers as low as 1". Do they make them thinner than that???
