Default Wheel Adapters

Does anybody know how long the OEM studs are? Trying to get wheel adapters but I need them to flush with the OEM studs. Any help would be great. Also the rims I have are +35 off set. This would be my first time installing spacers but I want to make sure I take all precaution while purchasing and installing them.

I have the Tourmalines and I added 25 front and 35 rear spacers and they work.

OEM studs are 43mm I believe. OEM wheel offset is 45mm. You need at least 25mm spacer with studs to clear the OEM studs.

I read so much about the different spacers that everyone uses, can someone explain to me the performance or functional improvement for me if I keep the stock suspension and tire/wheel size?
Improved handling by the wider stance?
Improved stability?
Do you generally use wider spacers in the rear (25 front / 35 rear)?
How do you know what to use or is it visual preference?
Or are spacers needed when suspension and tire/wheel size is modified?

Obviously this is from a very newbe in the spacer world.

So if my rims at +35 off set how would I make it work? Can I purchase a 25mm spacer and get that flush look? Also I did not lower my car or anything so hoping it would just stick out I would prefer it not to. .
