Just enough space to keep the stud from right against the wall to avoid moisture. Some places on my wall are 1/4 inch and other spots 3/4 of an inch. It's more important to have a straight wall then evenly spaced away from a crooked concrete wall. Hope that helps. You need to leave at least 3/4 inch depending on how straight your wall is.
