Front axle nut

Front axle nut
So I just replaced my front bearings and studs. I couldn't find any front axle nuts from honda or auto parts stores so I used rear axle nuts. They have the same pitch.
The only difference is the fronts have a flange. I already put the rears in the front and put the notch in because I'm leaving for gingerman tomorrow. Just want to know if I can survive the weekend.

No good man. That smaller nut may crush the ABS exciter ring/spacer inward.
The nut is large so the torque load is distributed evenly across the inner race, through the ABS spacer.
Just keep an eye out for wheel bearing play.

Billman, you're right. I'm having abs issues now. My front right abs kicks in at low speeds. 8mph to 0mph whilst coming to a stop.
I fear I wrecked my oem front axle nuts via an accidental cross threading. Hence why I used the rears. I can't find new front ones anywhere...?
