The reason why BOLT ON spacers (hub-centric if possible) are better than just throwing a huge spacer over extended wheel studs. Is the spacer is designed to take the tq transfer of the car as if it were an extension of the hub itself. There is no wiggle room for it to rotate.
I explained why just putting a slide on spacer were no bueno on extended wheel studs. They freely rotate within the limits of the wheel studs, and if their stress rating is being exceeded by rotating mass, they will simply bend or snap off.

Thanks for the info I never knew that. I never researched spacers because I refuse to run them. Now I know why. I always thought that if I'm gonna spend money on wheels I'll get some that are on point. And with companies like vrwheels and wheelflip you can even do that with used refurbished wheels now.
