With those tires hanging out there like that, what difference could a slight difference in track width make???
Sure, throw some spacers on it, by the way though, where do you live, I want to watch the wheels come off when a few studs break.

I mean I’m sure some one noticed this. Just trying to see if someone could tell me. No tape measure on me right now.

That is by design. Every vehicle I have owned has a wider front track width. There is a reason for it. If you don't care why it is like that and just want a certain look, there are slip on spacers you can buy. You probably can't go much over 1/2" without changing to a longer stud.
Ford lists front track width at 68.3, rear 67.2. So 1/2" each side in the rear should get you just about perfect.

Anything under 2” and you probably have to cut the OEM studs down. Anything 1/2” or over, and you won’t have enough threads left on the OEM studs to properly hold your wheel on.

really no reason just to make the rear wheel flush with the front wheel. Other than that no purpose.
