Default Disk spacer question

My front forks are the older 35mm tubes with the wide glide conversion trees(10'' from center to center).

I want to put a 16x3'' wheel up front. If I buy the spacer to put a 16'' on a wide glide with 39mm tubes, can I just add a 2mm spacer? Is this a viable option?

I ordered the 39mm adapter from Vulcan along with 2 .04 spacers. I will let you know if I can get it to work with my 35mm tubes. If not I am only out $35, but I really hope this will get my disk where it needs to be.
