Default spacers on stock wheels

Ive read about spacers and some say there is a risk of the wheel not being tight enough. Which is better? A spacer with longer wheel studs? Or get an adapter. The wheels are the ws-6 wheels I believe there 17x9-9.5? what size wheel spacer would i need? Im thinging 1 inch? What do ya'll think?

Those are 17 x 9s +50 offset
Adapters Are the best choice (stronger)1" is the largest size you want . But,you might have to roll the fender lip a little, FYI. If you go bigger then 1" you will have to roll the fender lip!

There's no need to upgrade to the ARP studs with a adapter,
you can rent a fender lip roller for around $50 and do it yourself, or pay 40$-75$ for a shop to do it. Another option is cutting the fender lips with a dremel tool, or diegrinder with a cut off wheel. Then there's the wooden baseball bat and jack method. If you don't feel comfortable doing any of this yourself take it to a friend or shop you trust and have them roll the fender lips.
