Default wheel spacer size question.

i have 18x10.5 c6 rims witih the 58mm offset..i just installed arp 2.5" studs..i have a set of baer 1/4" spacers. i put the spacers on and the rim for fitment..it looks like it may be flush or slightly less than flush with the side of my SS. i want it to be pretty much flush..i dont want the cheaper alum spacers, id like to stick with billet. so my question is baer's next size is .37" or 3/8" spacer..is that too big to run safely on 2.5" studs..mind its slightly larger than a 5/16"

also as i was checking..it actually seems like it may be fine at 1/4" spacer. the rim is just about flush..so i know with the tires on.the tire will def be flush with the side of the car..

post up some pics when you're done with this. I'm pondering getting my wheels to flush as well, and really haven't done the hard work of figuring all this out. Thanks.
