Default OK....newer Sport wheels and spacers

I have a 2013 Sport 370 with the latest Sport wheels. The 19" 'Swirl' ones.
I had them off today while doing toe bolts and lockout bolts.
I specifically looked at the backs (insides) of my wheels today because I couldn't find a definitive answer here regarding whether or not one can FOR SURE get 20 mm BOLT-ON spacers on the front of a car with the latest Sport wheels.
As I see it, if the mounting nuts holding the spacer to the hub sit flush to the face of the spacer (that is, don't stick out beyond the outboard face of the spacer) there is a TON of room to accomodate a stud that sticks out well past the face of the spacer, and (and further, I'm speculating a bit here) likely even plenty of room even if the mounting lug nut does too. I didn't take a picture, but there is a pretty decent size, deep cutout between the wheel mounting holes. I'm now going to try H&R bolt-ons all around now. 20 mm on the front, either 20s or 25s on the rear.
I will update this with how this turns out.
I know there are some people who say they've not had a problem, but about an equal number who state you cannot. I need to find out for myself.
