Why would you do this to spacers?

I wouldn't worry about the studs breaking off. It would be like running a wheel that is not hub-centric specifically for our cars. It'll still work and the studs will

I wouldn't worry about the studs breaking off. It would be like running a wheel that is not hub-centric specifically for our cars. It'll still work and the studs will support the load. You just won't get precise centering without that lip, and hence the chance of a wobble.

lug-centric wheels are different by design.

the issue is the wheel shifts out of place when there is no lip to rest the weight of hub-centric wheels. that movement can cause the stud to snap.

lug-centric wheels do not rely on the centering ring lip for stability. there is no shifting. unless the lugs were over torqued significantly, the lugs do not break.
