Ah -- but just realized if I put on a 15mm spacer, I'd need to put on extended studs too. Then I'd need to remove the spacer and studs to put the Forgestars back on. 5mm doesn't need extended studs though...

Yes it will work. The front tires might have a slight “bulge” to them but it won’t be a problem.

You probably don’t even NEED a spacer, so I’m sure 5mm is sufficient. Or instead… get larger spacers, use extended studs and get open ended lug nuts, but that’s more work. I’d stick with 5mm spacer and avoid the headache.
