From a metallurgy standpoint, stud replacement should be less safe. Since the studs are longer, it gives more way for the studs to bend and flex. That's just from my standpoint...

Also, once you remove your original studs, you can never put replacements in as firmly

I have bolt on ichibas, 20mm front and back, I have driven over 120mph hundreds of times and I have made plenty of high speed maneuvers with no ill effects... I think the installation and torque specs of whatever spacers you install make the difference in safety
