i think the 99-04 needs spacers if you have the 05+ rims im about to order mine but to get it flush you would need like 3 inch spacers
im just getting 1.5 or 2 inch

1/2 an inch is all you need, that's the difference in backspacing, nothing more.

yea but to make it even out back you prob do need quite a bit cause our rears are tucked quitea bit but u r gonna want at least that 1/2" cause if not its gonna look rediculous and they are prob 8" rims if they are the stockers

it really is only 1/2", it may look like a good bit, but trust me, when you swap axles and wheels like I do, you see how BIGa difference 1/2" makes.


Tyler, going off of your sig pic, a 1/2" spacer in the rear would put the bead of your wheel even with the outside rolled edge of the fender.
