I know this topic has been beaten over! Looking for recommendation on what size spacers to order to bring wheels/tires even with the fender flares. Not looking for a Bro-dozer "stance" just want the wheels to not look sucked in.. TIA

Currently thinking 1.5" running the stock stock BTS wheels. I have Bilstein 5160's up front and Carli UCA's if that accounts for any differences

You guys are saying to go wider in rear than front to flush up, Right?

If that's what you are saying, why does it look like my rear protrudes slightly more than the front? Either way, I'm happy with the outcome solves the problem I had with it 👍

Yes, the front track width is wider than the rear by ~1/4”. For a squared out look, I went with 3/4” adapters in the front and 1” in the rear.

Thanks @Redz72
I'll measure it out tomorrow and swap around if it's off, I have a Carli UCA and Bilstein 6112's so not sure if that would affect any change or not?
I had in my notes to go .25" larger in front probably from first reply to original post.. Ideally like to get on with other projects but this must be resolved! 😆

On my original post for this when I asked, was told to go wider in front than in rear
Reading all the replies, only the initial person said the wrong info, and even said he wasn't sure. Every other reply after that was correct about thinner spacers in front. Looking at your "after" pictures, the second pic clearly shows the rear wheels still tucked slightly while the fronts stick out slightly past fender flares
