15mm spacers + 65mm studs + stock lugs -- Is this going to work?

Hey Pelicans:

I have OEM 21mm spacers (and OEM 66mm studs) on the rear on my '84 Carrera and love the look. In trying to address the front (which I understand to be a more difficult installation process), I purchased a pair of H&R 15mm DRS spacers with longer, 65mm studs.

I do not want to run open ended lugs, so my question is this: Do the stock lug nuts have 5mm (+20mm for the longer studs, -15mm for the spacer) of threading/space to properly seat on the new studs?

Thanks in advance!

Compare old vs new studs. Is there at least a 15mm difference? If so, your lug nut thread engagement should be fine.

If the front end is without spacers, remove one lug nut and measure the exposed thread. Should be at least the same for the rear w/longer studs + spacer.
