You need to address each and every wheel that you're interested in on a "one at a time" evaluation. There's NOT an answer that will specifically answer your question. There's way to many choices. If you have a "specific" wheel dimension you're interested in it's not as difficult. You need to supply width and offset of those that interest you.

If you have 1" spacers presently you can likely buy with that in mind but it's a "one by one" application.

Supply width and offset maybe mentioning also the wheel diameter just for comparisons. What wheels do you have presently? Width and offset? Were you using your adapters? Were you happy with the tire/wheel placement?
