I used 2" spacers on the rear of my 83 Cruiser, but the wheels had a 6.5" backspacing, and I am not sure if that was stock backspacing or not.
The spacers I used were aluminum. Press-in studs. Very nice construction. Hub-centric.
They bolt to your car, and your wheel bolts to the spacer. These aren't like the thin slip-ons, the ones I had you would normally find being called adapters, because they can be drilled to let you change the wheel pattern. I have used a couple of sets, and as long as you torque them correctly, I don't see why there would be any problems.
These are the same TYPE construction of the ones I used. I am not recommending these particular ones in the auction, just using them as an example.

Pix of the wagon I had. Of course, the front are 15x7", regular POntiac I think. The rears are 16x8", 6.5" backspace. I used the 2.00" spacers to get a 4.5" backspace. My rear was sagging, even with new springs so I did use 1.5" coil spacers to lift the rear, and fit the 255/50/16 on the rear with no rubbing.
