Default Wheel Stud length and spacers

Two quick questions: How far do the studs stick past the rotor in the back? I'm getting spacers and need them to stick past the old studs. Second, any major problems with running a big spacer, like 1" or 1.25"?

1" = 25.4mm

wouldnt that lower your wheel's offset too much? if your wheels are +65, with the spacer your wheels would now be ~+40

yeah if you put a 1" spacer in, your wheels will stick out 1" further

what size wheels and offset are you planning on using the spacers for?

i've never used spacers before so you might want to consult with members on this board who has to see if there are any problems with running spacers that big

no i meant if i got 1" spacers will the spacer be thicker than the length of the original studs. I have a wide body that I am trying to use slipstreams with and therefore need a 1" spacer, since my current wheels are 2" wider with the same offset.
