And that's why you need to find a new shop. They'll destroy a $2000 set of wheels because swapping out $100 worth of lugs never occurred to them. And they've apparently done this before to other people. Some random tire shop does NOT know more than Volk Racing about the material strength and expected stresses placed on a Volk wheel. What they're proposing is a tremendous safety risk. What happens if the wheel fractures at their drill point because there isn't enough material left to support it?
Search the forum for ARP wheel studs. Get a different shop to press out the OEM wheel studs and press in the new wheel studs. Or do it yourself; it's not difficult. There are write-ups for it in the DIY section. Then use your 5mm spacers and be comfortable knowing that no corners were cut, your wheels are still intact, and your car is still safe. But don't give that shop any more of your money; they'll tear your car up and tell you that everything is fine.
