Default wheel spacers???

Hey guys im running a 4.5 inch lift on 33x12.50 tires mounted on 15x8 soft 8's. it doesn't really rub but I'd like more clearance and a wider stance. Im currently trying to decide Wether to go 1.25 or 1.5 in spacers. Idk if 1.5 would be too much of a wide stance. If anybody has pics of similar setups that would be cool thanks.

You also have to remember that the further out your wheels are the more stress its gonna put on all your components.

If it barely rubs now, the spacers will help the tires take the fenders off. +2 on the above.

My fenders are already trimmed only rubbing I get if any is on the inside by the shocks but that's only if I turn all the way.
