This universal style isn't the best design.
1/ The adaptor studs often have to be over tightened or worse, left a bit slack so they line up with the slot in the spacer.
2/ The adaptor studs can be of dubious quality.
3/ The central hole in the spacer is oversize so the nut and studs not only clamp the wheel to the hub but also carry the weight of the car.

They will do the job to increase the track of the car but you wouldn't want to push a car to its limits in the corners, the spacer set would be the first component to fail.

If you have to use spacers buy a set designed to fit your hub and wheel combination.
