How thick is the spacer? Most wheel spacers bolt up with your existing studs, and then have another set of studs that the wheel bolts to. If your spacers are just drilled through like a washer I would reconsider using them. That doesn't answer your question, but from what you described it sounds like a potential safety hazard.

Agreed with all of the above. Bolt-on spacers will be much safer than slip-ons. Just ordered my bolt-ons from ezaccessory.com this am.

 But if you ever need longer studs for anything, circle track/dirt track race shops usually have just about any kind of wheel studs you could ever want.

There are two tools needed, duct tape and WD40. If it moves and shouldn't, use the duct tape. If it doesn't move and should, use the WD 40.

That's the same company. They ship very fast too. I live in England and they arrived in 3 days!! Postage was pretty cheap too.
