Default Are these ok to use?

I just bought these spacers on ebay and didn't realize until I received them that there are no tabs or anything on the spacer to help locate the wheel in the center. The factory spindle (not sure what they're called on a quad) that holds the front wheels has a few tabs that locate the wheel and the bolts only hold it on. Without these tabs, I'm leaving it up to the studs to hold the wheel on. because my wheels aren't countersunk, I can't rely on the studs/lugs to locate the wheel either. Lastly, I now have to rely on the sheer strength of the bolts more with nothing holding the wheel in place and prevent it from sliding on the face of the spindle.

I know it lists them for a Polaris but, it also says they'll fit anything with a 4/156 bolt pattern.

Are these any less safe than any other front spacer?

I put some spacers on a Timberwolf 250 i had and MAN what a difference. I am a big guy and when in a turn it like to bring one side up. I put 1.5 inch spacers all the way around and NO PROBLEM again. Good Luck

Thanks for the input guys. I put them on last night and now watching the snow fall outside waiting to run them later today! I'm in PA just outside of Philly and they're calling for 3" or so... I'm hoping we actually get enough to have some fun.
