I checked this out on my 71 shortbed a few years ago. I found a crager ss 15x8 on the rear and 15x7 on the front worked. It made the edge of the wheel set out the same amount on the fenders. Yeah, it bugged me too.

Thanks for all the support, I thought I was the only one =) I just want to fix it in a way where I can cross-rotate my tires. Spacers seem to be the way to go. Do they have them for both drum and disc in case I convert the front to disc?

I don't think the spacers are drum/disc specific, but if you buy them now, you'll need a set of thicker ones after you do the disc brake conversion up front since the wheels will be pushed out a little bit more again.

O.C.D should be spelled: C.D.O. since it's in alphabetical order!
I like symmetry too. My 4x4 is wider in the front, but I kinda like looking at it from the front, it looks mean!
