Another wheel backspace question

iamlance said:

I just bought a set of Boyds ( yeah, I hate him too ) wheels for my 65 fastback. They have a 5.5 backspace. I figure I will need a 3/4 spacer / adaptor. I just read on another thread that iskwezm believes that spacers wider than 3/8 are unsafe. If this is the case , what should I use?? I can't imagine any adaptor less than an inch thick being safe because it needs to be bolted to the hub , and the rim to the adaptor. Seems like a lot to ask of a relatively thin piece of metal. Thanks.

So longer studs with spacers are OK??
