0" spacer.
you should get stronger studs regardless... they are cheap.
I have ARP studs, much stronger and threaded all the way.
Just play it safe.

Just a bit off-topic...... How big of a PITA is it to change the studs on a non-TCS car?

I'm using GM 2/16'' spacers and the nuts are on pretty good.

i need a spacer for one wheel. i had 4 y2k wheels hit a curb, had to replace one. well the one they sent and only make now is a different offset and sticks out more. im trying to match it by placing a spacer on one side. the new rim's offset is 54mm, and im not sure about the others offset. i roughly measured with a tape measure and its a 1/2''. so im wondering if i can place a 1/2'' spacer or is that too much??? if it is then what size can i safely go with??

I had some on, but I took them off because the nuts were on by only 3.5 turns.
