You should never use OEM studs with spacers larger than 3mm; you simply cannot get enough turns.

That said, it does not matter what kinda of spacer you use. Neither is "safer" than the other.

Bolt-on spacers are more popular because they are easier to install. However, now all wheels will accept bolt-on spacers. In order to be compatible with bolt-on spacers, the back of the wheels need to be recessed so that the OEM studs have a place to sit.

Traditional spacers that require you to replace the OEM studs with aftermarket extended (typically included with the spacers) are compatible with all wheels. They are just a little more work to install.

If your spacers are larger than 10mm, make sure they are hubcentric.
