I am in the process of finishing my garage. Common walls with the house have two layers of drywall: ~1/2" and 5/8". Is there a cheap and aesthetically pleasing way to transition to one layer of 5/8" for the remainder of the wall or will the whole wall have to be 1-1/8" thick? I could install OSB behind the drywall which would be nice for hanging stuff; however, it's pretty expensive right now.

Why not just rip the 1/2" OSB into 1-1/2 wide strips to use as shims, and attach them to the edge of the wall studs?
