Trans-Dapt wheel spacers
I think Mischiefdart has it correct.
IMHO, of importance here is the fact that wheel adapters take the "weight bearing" off the hub and place it squarely on the lug nuts.
Unless there's a spacer that is "hub centric", I believe it's not a good idea for any car. I made this mistake years ago with an Audi S6 I had. The wheels had a conical or universal (read none) hub set up. Wheels always seemed to come loose (more than should be expected) and the car never felt right with them on it.
Just my $.02
