it will break.
not may break.
not might hold
it will eventually break... its a matter of when.
big problem will be, when your axle breaks, the C clip on the inside doesnt hold the wheel on. and your axle and wheel may start to walk their way out.

Bad idea is right. I know of one case when a welded spider broke & jammed the rear axle, causing one totalled third gen. Fortunately no one was hurt, this time...
