Default i want my wheels to stick out farther.

i have 56mm offset and would like to get the rims to stick out a little bit. they seem to be tucked in the wheel well.

any suggestions?

Ideally you wouldn't use them at all, but in general a 5mm or smaller spacer will be okay with stock wheel studs. Just make sure you can get more than 6 turns on the lugnut. Best way to do this is to tighten down 4 lugs and then run the 5th one on and count how many turns. Also, don't be cheap and buy the cast spacers at the autoparts store for $12 - get yourself some high quality hubcentric spacers.
