Don't drive it, RALLY it!

I wouldn't say drift cars are highly stressed except for maybe their cooling systems. They put bugger all sideways load on the front or rear wheels, unlike circuit racing.
Any g force while cornering is putting a cyclic tension on the wheel studs as the wheel rotates. If the aluminium surrounding the wheel studs starts to wear, and the holes (in which the studs go through) elongate, then it may develop to the point of the spacer failing totally and your wheel coming off.
The other biggest force is from braking which is trying to twist the wheel studs around a centrepoint which is in line with the centre of the wheel bearing. Ditto above, if the aluminium starts to wear and the holes start to elongate.....and so on.
But, I don't think this would ever be a problem with street tyres and street driving. But I would not use them in competition with semislicks or slicks.
