Default 17x11's on front?

I picked up some CCW's and they are 17x11 front and back. What will be needed to fit nicely up front? Just a spacer? Would I maybe have to get longer wheel studs or would it just be easier to trade someone for some narrower CCW Classics?

You will need atleast a 3mm spacer and i do recommen Arp longer wheels studs. I have ran 3 mm spacer wo wheel studs though.

What are some risks to not having long enough wheel studs? Im assuming they won't hold and the wheel will come off while driving? lol

the bigger issue is that the studs are not strong enough to handle the additional stress put on by having the wheel farther from the hub.
