Lug choices with extended studs

[Berstuck]

I have Apex EC-7 18x10 wheels with 285/40/18 extreme contact DW tires. They rub the struts with no spacer, and I bought some coyote 1" spacers for cheap initially just to make sure I could mount the wheels. It's too much spacer and the tire sticks out past the wheel wells.

I want to buy ARP m14x1.5 extended studs, 1/2" longer than stock and pair them with a 1/2" spacer. My question is whether or not I can use my McGuard wheel locks. I have some open ended lugs in the garage that would work, but I would much prefer to use the locks I spent $120 on. Not sure if just the threaded portion of the ARP studs is 1/2" longer than stock or if that includes the knob on the end of the stud.

I took off my McGuard lugs and they have a ton of extra space beyond the threads. I'm like 90% sure it'll work. If anyone feels like chiming in before I order that would be awesome. If not I'll post up results after.

@Berstuck, did this work?

The amount of spacer he was trying to use is too much, to be honest. That combination only needs a 5mm spacer to clear the strut, which could be done on the stock wheel studs.
