Yick! People that use spacers and only a couple of threads are tosspots of the first order - it does seem to work, and often you'll get away with it for ages, but they have a horrible habbit of failing at the WORST possible time. I went and had a look at a crashed car one time, reason for the crash? Dickspot that owned the thing had done the spacers/no thread trick. Dickspot is now well and truly dead, by the way... Another time I was IN a car, when Dickspot MK II that 'owned' it decided to 'have a go' at beating a falcon at the lights. The result? The car hit a gutter, and the wheel came right off! Need I even BOTHER mentioning the reason??
Changing studs is not hard. If you can't do it yourself, pay someone to - and it really is that easy! In case anyone gives a damn, as part of my current brake upgrade, I changed to 5 larger and longer studs. How long? Try over 30 turns with open ended nuts  (OK, so I went too far, but hey!)
