By friend says that putting on the universal spacers would work bc it isn't using the bore of the hubs and wheel. I tell him he is wrong but he says he done it on his before?

You don't "need" hub centric rings. You do need them bored to be as big or bigger than your hub (which you correctly listed previously), and you need lug nuts that work with them.
Any machine shop can do it. Seeing as how you are asking if it can be DIYed, it definitely shouldn't be.

spacers will work but its a ghetto fix. The spacer itself will have to clear your s2k bore size though. I highly recommend against it seeing as how the studs even broke. If I were you,
1) Get tires bored by a machine shop/sell rims get new ones
2) Get 25 new studs and get all four tires done
3) Get properly fitting lug nuts (non OEM - almost any other lug nuts with the right pitch is conical, the ones you need)

1) either bore out the current wheels to 73mm, or trade for wheels that already have the proper bore. You can probably find a local machine shop that could do it.
2) replace the studs.
3) Hubcentric rings are not necessary. I'd avoid using spacers.
4) get a set of aftermarket lugnuts. Les Schwab should have them.

I like centering rings and I would run them if they were my wheels, but that's just me, lots of differing opinions out there.

and not contradicting Jfusion, but I run no centering rings. I think the general consensus of even those who don't run the centering rings is that, with centering rings you have a smaller possibility of messing up the install and torquing the rims on crooked.
Those who are extreme proponents of the ring claim that without the rings, the rim will not sit and roll properly.
It all comes down to one thing:
Does the rim resist vertical forces on the lug nuts (therefore the lugs)
or
Does the rim resist vertical forces on the lip of the hub (Therefore, the bore area)
Sub questions come up of whether a plastic(or crappy grade aluminum) ring even has the material properties to resist the forces...and so on.
Many people run without it with no problems, many run with rings with no problems but if you want to be safe, buy some rings.
