Wedges on the inside lock the two pieces together, and serrations on the exterior grip surfaces to resist loosening from high vibration and shifting. 3 washers is a lot. Using washers as spacer will cause your wheel no longer be hub centric.

I don't think there's enough machined hub surface for a spacer. Pressure=force/area the force is applied by tightening the wheel nuts, this is constant. Spacers are perfectly fine as long as you don't go too far in or out from the factory, this can cause wheel bearing wear (most are quite durable).
