I don't think there is any danger in not using one...all the stress is on the bolts...
If you run without one and the rotor is not centered...it may cause problems if you have to remove and reinstall the rotor as you would never get the wear patterns to match up...
Even then I think it would only cause the pads to wear abnormally fast...use your own common sense judgement

I ended up purchasing a new set of aftermarket disks. If I was a single man without children Id say good enough and not think twice. But now a days I need to be a little more cautious for their sake. I appreciate all of the input!

Those adapter bushings are for counterbored aftermarket rotors ...like you'll observe when the New rotors you ordered show up

There are other adapter bushings that haveNo Step for what you were originally trying to do. They have a slight interference fit and are tapped on to the Hub Spigot for retention.
