I have seen wheel studs bust off with only street usage. Worse yet would be on a track. That's disater waiting to happen IMO. Do what you want, but in your shoes I would at least get a set of hub adapters with the correct bolt pattern.

I agree that it is not the "right thing to do", but I have not seen studs or bolts broken in a road race, I have seen drag cars rip studs, and they often do not use hub centric Wheels, and I think it is often because of that (they use the right bolt circle) Or that they have not tighten the Wheel good enough is the most often cause. (on any type of setup)
I have seen cars loose Wheels With adapters. I think adapters are worse than the 0.65mm wrong. That could be because they use cheap adapters or that they often use too thick adapters, I do not know that for sure. And you get more weight on the Wheel bearings With them. Especially thick ones.
And adapters is rarely legal in real racing, probably just because of that?
I do not mean to sound like an self claimed expert, even though it seems so probably. But it is my opinion that it is more important that it is hub centric than 0.65 wrong, if it was more than that I would do something about for sure. Teoretical if it is hub centric, it should be very little stress on the bolts or studs, if it is not hub centric ALL the stress are on the bolt/studs
All this "China" Wheels probably are a bit wrong anyway He..He..
