You decided to try 18mm spacers?

Measure the backside of the wheel through the wheel to the deepest point of the taper(wheel nut seat), add 18mm for spacer and it looks like you need 18mm to extend "just beyond" the threads of the OE nut. ONLY JUST BEYOND THE THREADS! I believe the aircraft standard is three full threads beyond, that would require something at 23-24mm. (1.5 pitch x 3)
