If you were she
"were" is part of the verb 'to be'. In which case, the two words, you and she/her, should both be in the nominative case. Neither one is the object, they are both equal as the subject, since the verb 'to be' is the grammatical equivalent of an equal sign: the two sides need to have the same case. You should be able to reverse the position of the two and still have it be grammtically correct. When in doubt, I do that, and see which sounds right.
If she were you
or
If her were you
" If her were you " is obviously incorrect.
