I ordered a set of Mach M7 rims 19", paid for them, then i get an email saying that they may not fit without wheel spacers. should i still get them and order wheel spacers for them? are there any issues using wheel spacers?

Here's the fitment chart, ET is for offset and should help see how yours would fit https://www.evolutionm.net/forums/ev...ent-chart.html

While I applaud your attempt to take the correct approach, which is to get the profile of the brakes and then find wheels that will clear them, the problem is that very few vendors actually have the profiles for the wheels they sell. Thus, you are probably stuck with just asking or searching around to find options that will fit.
