I'm not too keen on rims but if you want to push the rears out, maybe order rims with 1.25" backspacing more than the fronts. I've got 1.25" rear spacers and the rear treads the same as the front. You will not be able to rotate your tires normally if you get different offset rims

What is the proper thickness to match the front?

I believe the front track is 2 inches wider than the rear. 1.25 to 1.5 spacers would be good to even it out. I think they make them as thick as 2.5 inches, so the choice is yours.
I have 1.3 inch spacers and it looks much better than without.
