Default ET lug nut question

I'm interested in running 1/4 inch spacers on my c6 and was wondering if these lug nuts would work. They appear to be the ET style to compensate for the spacer and are 12x1.5 which I believe are the correct size. Having a difficult time finding these.

The issue is the length of the studs, not nuts.
Different nuts won't compensate for a spacer. A shallower nut is nut the way to go.
1/4 might be ok if the stud threads still reach the end of the nuts.
