reasons seem to be because for bolt-on spacers, the wheel bolts on to the new studs on spacer, and the spacer is bolted on the hub with original studs. this creates more "points" where it could fail? but for extended studs (especially arp studs being stronger) with sandwich spacers, there'd be less "points" where it could fail. am i understanding that wrong? or is it just negligible enough to not make a difference?

thanks
