need opinions on my wheel/spacers plan
 
problem:
I am looking to put fd wheels on my fc. I am aware of the safety issues with spacers. Simply put if i use the spacers with a whole new set of studs built in there is a chance of them ripping out/apart. On the other side if i use longer stronger aftermarket studs and 25mm non-functional spacer there is a greater chance of the studs breaking due to the increase in length and the new sheering surface introduced by the spacer.

solution:
i am thinking of going with the longer stronger aftermarket bolt and the non-functional spacer. However rather than just placing the spacer between them and bolting it on, I was thinking I could use some 680 LOCTITE hightemp/high viscosity retaining compound to permanently attatch the spacer to the fd wheel, therefore eliminating the second sheering plane. The loctite has a sheer strength of 4000 psi.

If my theory is correct the majority of weight/force is put on the hub and studs so the loctite should be enough to hold the spacer to the wheel and provide zero movement between them, therefor creating a situation juts like stock(there will be only one sheering plane located at the base of the stud).

I would really like some opinions becasue this is my first attempt at anything like this and I am trying to go the safest route. Also if this is a viable idea, can anyone reccomend me some aftermarket stud companies? So far ive heard of moroso and ARP.
Thanks in advance for any and all help.

25mm H&R spacer with 67.1 bore diameter has problem with FD wheel. Its hitting the bore of FD wheel before the mating surface meet.
Looks like either the bore of FD machined out or make the bore depth on the spacer thinner.
Its about 1mm off, which make the wheel wobble.
