just got a great deal ona set of 20x8.5" coys.. the fronts are about fine, but the rears sit about 3" too far in. I was told my truck has a suburban rearend, but I can't confirm that. Is it normal on a 83 swb for the rears to sit in? I don't know if 3" spacers are the best idea to use, not sure if they are safe or not so I'm trying to see what my options are.

So basically, is it normal for the rear wheels to sit that far in? or does my mutt have a different rear axle in it? thanks!
