axle width

i just put 33 x 12.5's on my truck (86 f250) and i knotice that the front tires stick out farther from the wheel wells than the rear. i want to get a couple spacers for the rear so they match. does anyone know exactly how much wider the front is than the rear so i can get the right spacer?

Don't have exact #'s right now,but think it's like 3" difference.Personally I think it's a bad idea to use spacers on wheels,but that's just an opinion and you know what they say about those.
