Basement?

I wonder if it is okay to place a wooden stud against the outer basement wall if there are plastic spacers between the stud and the wall?

Read a bit in this thread:

I don't think it's OK, when there are now metal studs that do the job without being able to mold/rot

So there's no problem with placing the metal studs directly against the exterior wall, then? What would be best, to set them at 60 c/c or 30 c/c?

No problem, however, it usually doesn't become straight because of the wall's "natural" unevenness - metal studs are completely straight

c/c 60 for a normal wall, like c/c 40 if you plan to hang heavy items on the wall. c/c depends a little on the width of gypsum and/or plyfa/OSB...
