Yup. Going the other way involves either new studs or new hubs (with
long studs). One of the big advantages to the spacers ...
Actually, if you get the studs just the right length (so they just touch
the inside of the wire wheels when installed), you only loose about 2
threads when the disk wheels are installed. This probably isn't safe
(you'll certainly never pass tech inspection at the track), but some are
done this way on my current car & I've never had a problem. I don't
recommend it, tho, for obvious reasons.
