Don't waste your time with generic non-hubcentric spacers, they are more trouble than they are worth. Plus I wouldn't run more than about 3mm spacer on stock studs...but I am anal and like having planty of threads on my wheel studs.
Take a straight edge and line it up with where you want the wheels to sit, then measure the distance between the wheel and straight edge and that will equal the size of spacer you need. The hop online ( Ebay seller Optionselects sells good quality spacers) and find a set of hub centric wheel spacers with built in studs. They bolt right on, are hub centric so you wont get any annoying vibrations from the spacer not being centered and you will have full length wheel studs.
To get where you want to be it's probably going to take a decent sized spacer (1"-2") so by going the above route you will save time and labor/effort of having to replace all your current wheel studs to accomodate the spacers. Best of all if you change your wheels or decide you want a different spacer you can simply unbolt them and sell them, then put your wheels back on, all in little time.
Whats the width on your wheels? Seems like a lot of people go with a -0- offset, and into the negative offsets (-18) when going with aftermarket wheels.
