I'm not sure. I just noticed my fronts are more even with the fenders and the rears are tucked a little too much for my taste. I was just sorta wondering what my options were. I don't know what's out there.. 1 inch? More? Is that possible with stock studs? Should I be upgrading that too..

Now with something like a 1" spacer you should be safe because its not much of a difference. Just like going to a new wheel with 1" more backspacing.....usually not a problem.
The spacer bolts on to the stock studs with special nuts, and then the wheel bolts on to the spacer with a new set of studs that are centered between the stock studs. So yes, your stock lug nuts are fine, however with thinner spacers you might have to get the sawzall out to shorten the studs if they hit the wheel.
