Wheel Spacers?

Installing a 9 inch in the rear of my scout II, 61" WMS.
Still keeping the 44 in the front 58" WMS.
Was thinking of 1 1/2" wheels spacers, but need to tear the 44 down for a rebuild, need to keep the 5 on 5 1/2 pattern. Anyone run into this before and solve this with a knuckle change?

If you go to Chevy flat top knuckles/chevy small bearing spindles and ford 5x5.5" hubs/rotors you gain a little bit of width plus the stronger internal locking hubs...

I do not know the actual width increase but it isn't a full 3 inches total....

Front starts out at 60" (give or take a little), not 58 (assuming Scout II).

Chevy/Ford outers will add 1" over all. 8-lug will add 3" over all.

If you want more, got with the spacers and run with them.
