18"x10" and 18"x10.5" Track Wheels Options?

yeah, when I was bottoming out, I was pretty slammed too. I'm not anymore though.

So I think i finally decided which wheels I'm going to get.

I'm going to go with

Front
Wheel: Enkei's PF01 18x10.5" ET 38
Spacer: 10mm (Overall offset = 28)

Rear
Wheel: Enkei's PF01 18x10.5" ET 38
Spacer: 20mm (Overall offset = 18)

Tires: Still deciding, but will most likely be Hankook RS3 285/35 or the new Dunlop

Will this work?

I'm not moving on to the next HW assignment, stud replacements & Lug Nuts.
Ideally, I would like to be able to mount both my Enkei PF01 18" and my Sports Rays 19" on the same APR extended studs.
-I intend to buy proper spacer 20mm front/25mm rear for the Rays and use my existing OEM stock lug nuts w/ lock for DD, will I run into any issue with the stud length being too long or short?
-If so, can I hack the APR stud length so I could make it work with both configuration? I intend to use a dedicated lug nuts for each set of wheels, I just want to see if there's a way to use the same APR extended studs and still keep my OEM lug nuts + lock nut for the rays without going open lug nuts.

Thanks!

I would get the proper length studs for the stock wheel spacers, and then use open ended lug nuts for the aftermarket wheels, since you will be using smaller spacers for the aftermarkets.
