and 8mm on back due to have longer wheel studs my lugs bottomed out

You should be fine if your lugs bottomed out.

No its not, But then again the OP wasn't clear on the type of lugnuts he is running. Either acorn or shanked acorn, and if they are open or closed. Yes hubcentric spacers are fine to run, they still put the load on the hub and not the wheel studs.

You can always cut down your wheel studs by the way.

You might want to explain what you mean, then, by "bottomed out".

The studs are to long so the lug nuts I have are not long enough to hold on the wheel hence bottoming out on the stud

Cut the studs down or switch lug nuts.

How should I cut them down while there on the car with out damaging the threads ? Also I kinda like how they pushed the 315s out just a tad bit more. Is it really that unsafe ?

Hubcentric spacers are safe, They put the load on the hub just as a wheel does.

To cut them down, mark them, spin on a cheap open ended acorn nut (2.00$ from advance auto) and then use a cut off wheel and chop down the stud. Clean up the cut and spin the cheap acorn nut off and then all is well.

By that you meen, they will bottom out w/o the spacer, correct? If so, you shouldn't have to cut down the studs. If the spacer does the job, and it IS a hub centric spacer, you should be just fine.
