I have 18x10 Forgestar CF5s and I'd like to throw some 1/4" spacers on the front.

Anyone know if this will be a problem with stock studs?

The way I see it you need at least 12mm and you need to replace your studs

I have 5mm spacers on my back wheels and have gone about 10k miles with no issues. Any bigger and I would go to the bolt on spacers.

looks like you could go with a 15mm spacer easily on that wheel, Eibach makes a nice kit with 15mm spacers and longer studs to replace the stock studs

The long term goal is to do upgraded, longer studs with an 18x11. Right now I ordered a 5mm to retain stock studs with my 18x10s.

if I may

On stock studs widest is 5, some members have done a 8 and gotten away with it, if you do I recommend a Et lug nut that extends inwards for extra mating to the thread.

Anything more then that jumps to either you doing extended studs, or a adapter. Now what is a factor is the wheel it is being mated to, if the wheel has deep pockets in the back a adapter can do the trick, if not then a extended stud and spacer combo is the way to go.
