I would imagine this is stronger and less prone to stud failure, but is it ok if i got longer studs and just ran a standard spacer that is possible hub-centric and just has holes in our bolt patterns so i would have to mess with the other type of spacer. this would make life so much easier becuase then with the longer studs i can just get open ended drag wheel lugs and really be in spec at the track. Hope this makes sense. Has anybody ever heard of wheel people welding in a spacer on the back of the wheel to make up the offset difference. Probably talking about a 1 1/2 spacer maybe less. I would have to measure this after the wheels were widened to tune in the exact look i want... thanks
i would NEVER consider using a slip on spacer much over 1/2" think. thats an accident waiting to happen.

are you sure you even need the spacers?

as or welding the spacer on, the thought has crossed my mind, but i've never seen it done

your starting to get into some questionable areas, and larger sums of money here. why not buy different wheels in the width you want?
