Default wheel spacing 49 wagon hot rod

Is the wheel spacing 4 1/2 x 5 for Ford 8" rear end(maverick?)? Doesn't seem to measure 4 1/2 to me.

Needing to order some 1" spacers. Pictures of 2" spacers

If it's the standard 8" rear it is 5 on 4 1/2.

The spacers I've seen tell you to retorque every 500 miles. Keep an eye on them. They can loosen up.
