If the surface area of the spacer is bigger than that of the wheel mounting face (to ensure enough friction to stop the wheel moving), and the nuts are tapered (to centre them), and you tightened gradually and diagonally (to centre them), and the studs are all one peice (not the horrible Cosmic/Grasyston extended type), and the nuts have enough thread in them, I can't see an issue.

Kittens won't be killed but if they are universal jobbies that offer zero location may induce some not so pleasant vibrations. It could also put quite a bit of undue stress on the wheel bearings but to be honest if you are not doing mega miles you should be fine  . |

As long as they aren't those terrifying grayston ones you'll be fine.
