~What MM spacers should I go~

Yea today the football game are Texas Longhorn and Alabama.. GO LongHOrn GO!!! LoL anyway man my buddy and I did so much work on rear fender because I bought the Work Rezax 3 piece 19x9 22 et and 19x10.5 32 et .. Edafe (Royal_T) help me doing the face swap because I want front 32 et and rear 22 et.. OK so I install 245-35-19 tires on rear and then put them on test fit.. Fawk the rear poke too much then front.. My heart sank so bad because I shouldnt swap the face but oh well I dont give up... I went to tire shop to buy a pair of brand new 235-35-19 and then put them on.. IT fit ok and I borrow Edafe roller fender equipment to roll rear fender more.. My buddy help me to rolled fender and we push rear fender out as we can.. IT look ready to put rims on and then lower the car on mechanical stand.. I see the tires finally tuck inside the fender but one problem.. Im kinda mad at the rear fender where rear fender meet the bumper.. U know the clip attach the bumper.. My buddy use grinder to shave the rear bumper.. It fit good as glove but it make a little rub.. AHHHHH I miss rolling dump... i I gotta do a lot of work on rear and then I can roll dump.. Oh hey, I need help... What is the best spacers brand I can buy? Im afraid if I buy KICS 10mm spacers because my buddy has experience with them that has bolt keep turning.. I dont want this happen.. Anyway enough this story.. Here are the pics:

Secondly just cause you switched out the faces isn't automatically gonna make the rears +22 and the fronts +32. Thats not how offsets work :yahoo_68:

I've always been under the assumption KICS were good. Maybe you're friend just got unlucky and ended up with that on IDK But ive used PBM and they've got good ish. Even looks nice too hahaha, thats my recommendation.

To add to this, your title says "~What MM spacers should I go~" and in that last quote you seem to have made up your mind you want 10mm. To be honest, you might wanna try 15mm at least, maybe even a 20mm.

I wish I want front poke as rear but how can I able to make wheel turn.. I don't like the fender meet the bumper cuz there was a screw on.. I took screw off and put them in different place to hold the bumper.. Maybe 15mm will work

It aint gonna hurt anything if you poke it
Doesn't rub at all from full lock-to-lock

The front tires are 215-35-19 and the front fenders are already roll and cut fender liner.. I think I might buy 15mm spacers...

Good luck

That's what I went w/ on my rears and it's the safest application (I've been told) they come w/ their own bolts that bolt your spacer to your car then bolt your weels to it w/ you existing luggs - at least thet's how we did mine....now 10mm for the fronts LoL...then some stretched rubber...then maybe +5mm front and rear. But back on topic, I say H&R 25mm all the way but I am a bit bias and don't have expeirience w/ any other spacers. Good luck.

We can't tell you an exact number. From the looks of it, looks like 25-30mm.

Taking a ruler and putting it up against your fender and wheel lip is less work then taking a fancy pic and uploading it:shrug:

yup what he said. if the disks were the same type then you changed for nothing. ususally disk is different by 10mm or so so i guess what you did is swap the face so you can put a spacer at the front. otherwise you could just don't swap the disk and add spacer at the rear.

what up mike, the rides looking preety nice but some poke up front would definettely set it off. In my opinion the best way is just to measure it with a ruler then convert it to mm.
