Definitely don't want studs breaking in motion especially. However, I broke 2 while removing passenger wheel, luckily opposite ones. So I did not want to take a test drive in this situation.
I will pick up longer steel studs from AZ tomorrow and give this better time than I had today.
For quick testing 1" spacers could not sit flush to hub, not without these 5mm spacer rings. The rings are hub centered. Question are these spacer rings known to be safe?

if the big spacers don't fit flush on the hubs they are probably hitting the "brake register",,, that's the small raised portion the rotor rides on. a beveled edge on the inner side of the spacers will cure that issue.
personally my opinion is against stacking spacers, it's your truck & your decision.
with ALL spacers, especially the thin cheap ones, place them against the mounting surface of the wheel and check for proper contact.
there are situations where the mounting area on the wheel does not align with the spacers.
the wheels in the pic above appears the have a thin mounting ring outside of the lug holes. any spacer, rotor, drum will have to completely cover that ring.
