Yeah... Life is expensive and takes time!We've all been in the time and money crunch before.
I've seen wheel spacers come undone and it's never pretty. I just don't like the additional points of failure.
I'd suggest getting wheels (even used) that have a 3.75 back space. That's really the aftermarket industry standard for aftermarket Ranger wheels. So an 8 inch wide wheel with 3.75 inch back space will get you 1 3/4 inch wider per side... 3 1/2 inches overall.
It won't fix the staggering front to rear... but i live with it. I just don't trust spacers enough to use them.
I know it doesn't answer your question... but if you "NEED" width to match... just putting them on the rear is better to me then running them on all four corners.
I actually ran 2" front and rear on my 06 Z71 Suburban, I was running 35x12.50's on OE 2012 Silverado 18" wheels and needed to push the fronts outward to clear the aftermarket control arms...
