4mm yes, 6mm might be dodgy. I have used 5mm spacers at the track on stock nuts with r-compound tires. If they can handly that, they can handle anything. But there really is barely enough thread, so 6mm might be pushing your luck.

4mm = No
6mm = No The stock studs are only safe up to a 3mm spacer. If you want more, I'd highly suggest buying extended studs.

I just got spacers with extended studs. They were only a bit more than just the spacer. Do it right and play it safe.
