Wheel Spacers issue

I got a Infiniti G37s 2010 and I had to get spacers for my winter tires because in the front the \after market wheel would rub on the brake of the car. I got H&R hubcentric 20 mm spacers all around and now i found out I have a gap issue with the spacers on ..... HELP

Not clear on what you mean by a gap issue? Are the spacers not mating up properly to studs and leaving a gap? Or are the spacers too wide creating interference at the fender edge under compression?

Is this what your spacer & stud look like and the oem studs hitting the backside of the rim ?

Most wheels have recesses in the back of the wheel mount where the spacers' studs will go. If yours only has a flat mounting flange you're not going to be able to run them
Thanks for the pic Gio!
