Yep, 1/4" max. I would even suggest ET lug nuts if you do that. I'm running a 1/2" spacer but I replaced the studs with longer ARP studs (not the extra long ones). Like previously mentioned, it's a royal pain to replace the rear studs.....and come to think of it, the fronts weren't super fun either. BUT, to me, it was well worth it. I can run different wheels and offsets/spacers without worry plus I've got super strong ARP studs that will be tough to booger up.

BTW, sunken in wheels are the worst
