[Help] 7mm Spacer on jazz front wheels ?

after put a spacer, it will takes some space of the "stats" (i'm not sure i spell it right or not, wat i'm refering is the thing that in the middle of ur disc brake which allows u to put ur wheel lock nuts in order to screw it tight. honda jazz have 4 piece at each side). thats mean we will screw less inner than before putting a spacer...... in this case, is there anything bad will be happen ? do i need to order a custom made longer "stats" ? or it should be fine with now ? my spacer is about 8mm thick.... a mechanic told me i only can lock the nuts for about 4mm thread

the reason i'm using 8mm spacer on the front is because i bought a wheels which the size is based on honda fit GD1 (japan version) and the jazz i driving is GD3 (australian version). i never know that the GD1 and GD3 have different brake calippers size. if i'm not putting this spacer the disc brake will be sticking with the wheels and it can't move at all

Please let me know if its very danger and is there any solution for this ?

Thank you

I think you mean STUDS the threaded bolt protuding from the rotors on which the lug nuts go on. H&R may have a solution for you....Let me dig up the site info and post I think I made earlier.

H&R and some other aftermarket companies do offer longer studs.

Suggestion: If the 8mm spacers work for you on the FRONT wheels... you should think about putting 8mm spacers on the REAR wheels also.

Any of you technical guys wanna chime in on this one?
