Default Biggest Spacer for Front

What's the biggest spacer I can run safely in the front WITHOUT replacing the wheel studs? I need about 8-10mm of clearance for a BBK setup.

I also hear there are 10mm spacers that have studs integrated into them. Anyone have experience with those?

5mm MAX and personally I would only go 3mm. With a 8mm spacer you would lose over 5 full turns of the lug nut.

Also with the 10mm spacer the studs go past the spacer so the wheel has to have indents. Your options are basically 15mm or 20mm with built in studs but you better have your fenders rolled.

5mm is the biggest spacer you can go on oem studs. It looks like you'll need a 15mm spacer with internal studs to clear the length of oem studs on the back of your wheel hub. They project kics, they make some nice ones.

just remember that a decent size spacer is gonna make your turning radius worse as well as make the steering feel weird in general because the front track is wider
