Default Wheel spacers....how far?......

Currently doing a wide body kit on my C5. Im needing to go at least 1 in to make the outer wall flush but think I can go farther to make the rim flush. My question is how think of a spacer errr I ment adapter do I need to not cut my lug bolts?

THx guys.

If you use adapters you can go out further and won't lose and threads on your studs. I have 2" hub centric adapters with my wide body but I haven't installed them yet. I'm also sending my rear rims out to get widened so I can put a 13" tire on there.
