Anything more than a 3mm spacer is unsafe on the stock studs because you won't have enough stud thread on the outside of the wheel for the lugnuts to sit on.

The "two types of spacers" I think you're referring to are hub-centric and non hub-centric which has to do with proper centering rather than whether or not you need extended studs or not.

Edit: Actually, you may also be talking about the spacers with stud extensions already on them. Those are generally much thicker, and definitely wouldn't fit on the above setup. Like this:
