When I first began looking at widebodies I also couldn't believe these cars used spacers and that 930s came stock with them. This is a very cheap, cheesy way to do things. However, it does make fitting aftermarket wheels a bunch easier. Wheels with extreme offset (big fenders) probably do shorten bearing life but who cares, most don't drive the cars that much anyway. Another point (this is gonna get me in trouble) is 911s and 930's don't put out enough torque to make this a safety issue. You wouldn't even think about using spacers in a high output V8 american car. I have seen first hand the damage this can cause and keep the sheered off studs as a reminder.
