Default Is it possible to get 1/2" or 3/4" wheel spacers?

i'm just curious if it's possible to get 1/2" or 3/4" wheel spacers. I haven't seen any.

The reason I ask is that I currently have 34" x 11.5" tires and I like the current backspace. I want to upgrade to 35" x 12.5" tires and so I think I only need to push out my tire by a half inch.

I want to keep my stock rims.

Not a quality spacer like spidertrax. Problem is that anything less than 1.5" is going to just sandwich between the wheel and hub. Not very safe as it shortens the amount of space that you bolts will stick out through the wheel.

are you opposed to 1.5" spacers? They look great with stock rims

no problems with 1.5" spacers. That's probably the way I will go. I'm just concerned that my tires might stick out too far past the fenders.
