get a couple extra wheel bolts, cut the heads off. screw the (now) studs into the hub. Put washers on the studs equalling the thickness of the spacer you are thinking about. Use three wheel bolts to secure the wheel to the hub. Gently lower car to ground to settle the suspension. See if you like where the wheel/tire is position. If not repeat with more/fewer washers.
Too many washers and you cannot bolt wheel to hub...then you have to purchase longer studs and nut the wheel in place on the longer studs.
DO NOT attempt to drive car with wheel on studs, etc.

That's a lot of work. Do it this way much safer.
