I am going off what I can remember about asking this questions years ago. I am sure googling for a little bit could yield better search results.

Not sure how the load differs between using adapters and the same size spacers - can't correct you because I don't know for sure that's true. Regardless of what anyone says, I don't feel comfortable using adapters with the press fit threads for the original lug bolts, where the only connection of the wheel to the hub is through a press fit threaded connection. If the threads were in the actual hub itself, that might make me feel more comfortable.
