Ok so you mean the actual thickness of the "recessed" part of the spacer? Just make sure your studs will fit through them with plenty of thread left?
And yes I wouldn't buy just a spacer! Only an "adaptor" with a 2nd set of studs.

If you use a 1" wheel spacer up front then the factory lugs that go through the spacer end up protruding over the top of the spacer because the factory studs are longer than the thickness of the spacer. If you flip your wheels over and look at the backside you will see lug holes for the lugs and SOME wheels have recessed holes between each lug hole of the wheel. If you have these recessed holes then you will be able to use 1" spacers. If you use wheels like crager soft-8's or black steel wheels then they will not work because the backside is flat between each lug hole and the factory lugs (that are protruding outside of the spacer) will hit the wheel and not allow you to mount.
This only applies to 1" or thinner spacers. 1.25" or thicker spacers work just fine with any wheel because the factory lugs are not protruding.
