1/4" is the max I'd suggest.

I've got 1/8" on the rear right now. I tried 5/16" with my Prostars and just didn't feel safe with those.

spacer.. 1/4 like what was suggested.. but if thats still not enough you can buy a bolt on adapter, then bolt your wheel to that.. some people have those, i believe theyre most common in 1"

I'm running a similar adapter. Mine is 1.25 inches thick and has a "lip" to keep the wheel centered (hubcentric design).
