Need More Spacers?

I just bought a set of spacers that look to be about 1.5 inch to put my salad shooters on my 1985 IROC-Z and they won't work on the front due to hitting the tie rod end and strut. I think I could fit a half inch spacer between the wheel and the spacer that is already there. Anybody have something like this or know where I could located such a thing? Thanks in advance.

How could it be too much spacer? I would think that if it had too much spacer than the wheel wouldn't be hitting the strut and tie rod end. I am confused....

What I mean is that spacers, if too big, can be a safety issue. You should try to use the smallest spacer possible or get a different offset wheel.
