Default wheel/shock spacer

I'm putting 265 tires on a 1990 c2500 4x2 8 lug wheels. I have 245 tires on there now. I was told 265 will rub but 255 would fit. The difference between the 245 and 265 is that the 265 is bigger in diameter by inch. When shopping for shopping for tires I have the option to use 225' or 245's as a factory option. I want to know where to buy a 1 inch wheel/shock spacer to regain that lose of a inch in the front and any other suggestions besides a lift kit. I have plenty room in the rear for the 265,s. The 245's need replaced.

I'm not sure wheel spacers are what you're looking for as all they will do is push the wheel outwards one inch, it may work though since you're not going to big. And by shock I'm assuming coil over?

Not that kind of spacer. A spacer for the shock and coil spring to lift the front suspension without using a lift kit. It would be 2in shock spacer.

All you need is spacers for the spring pads and longer shocks.

Wheel spacers fit between your car's wheel and the hub that the wheel mounts to on the car. Spacers push the wheel away from the hub "spaced out"
