No, No, Nooooooooo!!!!

Bad idea!

Think about it - Without any spacer, all the force on your wheel is being spread over the surface area of the back of the wheel, which bascially matches the hub. The lugs do nothing but hold the wheel onto the hub securely - No up and down forces applied to them.

You add washers, and the studs are forced to take the up/down load of the wheel, which they were not designed to do. They will shear off eventually.

Please do not drive like that and risk losing your whole car over something as cheap as a $95 set of hubcentric spacers.
