Default Wheel spacers?

I bought a set of c6 zr1 replicas. The back ones fit perfect but the fronts seam a little tucked in. I would like to bring out 5 to 7mm. What is the thickest spacer I can run without changing studs.

about 3 mm is all. 5mm will require longer studs.

Running a 1/4 on my fronts. I would not push past this without going hub-centric (studs).

You could try weapon x motor sports.. get a 6mm spacer with extended lugs... That’s what I did
