5mm spacers don't need them because the hub extends past the spacer. Larger spacers do like these ones. Eibachs have built in studs as well

if your stud gets screwed up later you will have to change the spacer, the traditional type isn't rocket science.

Why? The studs press out just like the OEM ones, you would just have to get a new stud with the correct length and threads

Without hubcentrics rings you'll get wheel vibrations at higher speeds. Vibration = annoying and possible damage to wheels studs.

Project KICS is the only one I know of that requires the purchase of an additional hubcentric ring that fits betwen the hub and the inner bore of the spacers. The center bore of others I've looked at from H&R, Eibach, and Ichiba are made to be hubcentric, so that no additional rings are needed. Saves you quite a bit.

Depends on what type of spacer you are looking for. No spacer should wobble anyways, likely its install error
