Nope, that's such a small amount it wouldn't have any adverse effects.

i ran 25mm spacers and incorect spigot rings on an old car... then i managed to snap a stud. 3mm you wont have any problems with

Make sure you have enough threads left in the wheelnuts. IIRC criteria is 1.25 times thread diameter so about 15mm worth of thread or 12 turns of nuts on a 1.25 thread pitch.

All 4 of my hubs have longer bolts in them. Annoying really cause I can't put captivated nuts on because of the length
