1.25" vs 1.5" vs 2" Wheel Spacers

hey guys i just read this thread. so i recently purchased some afterwork market wheels for my 1999 limited. the wheels have 3.50 bs and -25 offset. my question is that i wanted to add 3-5mm spacer to give it an even wider stance, would this be safe?

I have 1.25 on the front so the suspension will cycle properly and not rub on the upper arm. Going 1.25 on the rear to maintain factory .6" difference. I'm aware of potential to rub at full stuff and wheel bearing issues. Might go with bigger bumpstops.

Factory wheels
265/75/16 Perelli MTRs.
Wheeler's front springs
Bilstien 3 way on front middle setting
1 inch diff drop
Panhard correction
LC rear w/Bilstien

For reference

1.25" spacers are the standard for these rigs using factory wheel offset . This results in a width that is nearly nearly flush with LTD flares (as you can see from the straight-down shot). I took off the mudflap portion of my rear flares but you get the idea in the rear shot. A tiny bit of poke that can vary a bit depending on the tire profile. I haven't seen or felt any evidence of rub with 265/75 but wouldn't really expect to.

Edit - nevermind I see now that his has already been covered thoroughly in previous posts.
