It isn't a extension of the stud to the wheel. If it was run on the outside before the wheel went on then I would be concerned. The stud is in no threat of deflection the way it is positioned on the other side of the hub away from the wheel. The only other way it can work is to offset the caliper bracket to eliminate the spacer. But 16's would not fit if this was done.
Or buy a late model DRW complete axle and do the swap................................
