Spacers add stress points to the lug bolts. Imagine the shearing force between hub, rotor hat, and wheel, and add an additional piece of spacer in there...
I've seen sheared bolts at the track from running spacers. It's not pretty. For anything that sees moderate track use, if you're going to use spacers, convert everything to lug nuts instead of using bolts.
