It you are talking about the upper A-Arms, then yes, wheel spacers would work. Or...you can trim them.

Steve at Sonoran Steel sells the trimmed ones. Supposedly, they are quite nice. If you decide to go with wheel spacers, may I suggest Spidertrax Off-Road. they build their spacer to exact OEM specs. $99 per pair, but for other universal spacers being $69 on ebay, I'd much rather pay the extra $60 for perfect fit spacers.

I run 1.5" wheel adapters (spacers) from All-pro offroad. They are fine. Plus, I like the added width. The AR-767's are backspaced a little too shallow for me, so sticking them out a bit helps.

I got the shaved arms from Steve to fix the same problem.
