Those look just like the aluminum spacers I put on my camper. The spacer goes over the original studs, then the spacer is torqued on to the inner wheel (gotta use the right size socket to get it tight...this is where the tire shop messed up on mine), then the outer wheel goes on the spacer lugs. Its really a no brainer. My brother is a master mechanic and said many tractor trailers on the road use this same setup for various reasons. Yes, I guess you could use narrower tires and stop the rubbing.....mine was for that reason and creating a larger "footprint" on the beach for easier driving. It doesn't affect your axle bearing or wheel bearings or anything else for that matter. Tried and tested now for 10 years on my camper. Unless you're going for the beach, absolutely no reason to do this.
