Good to hear a success story - especially when what should be a simple project starts to go to crap....

Thanks guys
I am keeping the stock spacers in my garage :-)

By the way , ride felt great - I did take off the spacers , should I put them back on?

How much clearance do you have between the tire and the fender lip with the new wheels and tires installed? Unless it's more than the width of the spacer, it's going to rub (or not fit at all).

Sorry about the double post - the site is running so damned SLOW today. I hit "reply" a second time after nothing happened the first time...

to figure out what size spacers you need for the rear ,
measure the outer side of the tire wall where it passes the fender lip .
NOTE measure both sides,
using the smaller of the two numbers ,
subtract 5MM this will be the ideal spacer size
