Spacers??
I have heard its bad for your car to have spacers...IS this true?? If not whats the biggest spacer one can have with installing an adapter kit, or do u have to have one?
I run MM 1/2" spacers on the rear of my ride. I have replaced all 10 studs with longer/stronger ones and work wonderfully. I DON'T recommend the ones that have their own bolts and 5 holes for your existing bolts. I think those are a bad idea.
Same question as above...... how much do you want to go and why?

Im not sure on how mych i want to go really i have 275/40/17 tires all the way around and the front looks like it sticks out more. I want to make the rears come out a bit maybe even with the front or a little further. BUt i have no idea what size will make this do this or where to even look for some good spacers. And is it hard to install them once you get them??
Start with the following: Jack the rear of the car from axle until tires just leave the ground. Unscrew all the lugs on one rear wheel 1/2". Pull the wheel outward untill it hits the lugs, stand back and take a look. This is what I did and found 1/2" was perfect, you may want a little more/less. I was then able to get a second set of identical wheels widened 1/2" and now run 11"s out back 
To run that much spacer you NEED to replace your lug-bolts with longer/stronger ones to gain adequate threads on lugs as well as appropriate strength. This was a PITA to do, but is a MUST when going that wide, IMO. I would recommend you take your car to a machine shoppe and have them do it. I was able to do so without removing axles, but not very difficult to just do it the easy way and have them pressed in by a shoppe.
