Default Wheel spacers and studs

I have found some 18" chrome TT2 wheels I'd like to put on my C3...I need to use a 1/2 spacer on the front and maybe a 1/4 on the rear..any suggestions on which spacer to use and longer studs and where I might purchase these...I have not seen the exact stud length I need so do you get longer ones and cut off??

Summit Racing or Jegs are a good option.

Do not go crazy with spacers. If you need them that’s ok but don’t go 1” spacer. Go with spacers that are Hub centric and center via the wheel hub, not the wheel studs.

If I had to add spacers, I would only use concentric spacers.
anything else, and you will fight wheel balance problems forever.
Me personally i would buy the correct fitting wheels.
