5mm on stock studs. You will probably not notice the wheels sticking out. Its more for clearance than anything else.

The most you can get is 5mm and they won't make much of a difference. I once tried 8mm's and I needed extended studs.

You can always get bolt on spacers that have extended studs already attached.

ok thanks. i actually just found some wheel spacer online that are 1in and i guess they bolt onto the stock hub using the stock studs and the new spacer has new studs pressed in already? H&R and Eibach makes some sets...are you farmiliar with them? Just curious as to how good they are and to how far my wheel will stick out. I want the wheels to stick out but i dont want it to look ridiculous lol

With 7" wide rims you're gonna need some thick spacers to make them flush with the fenders.

My spacers! 25mm is basically an inch! Slap those on the rears. Slap the 15mm on the front and call it a day. Mind you, the rear are sunken in more than the front thus the bigger spacer.
