Rotors and spacers

I have already replaced my front rotors and replaced them with Rotora drilled/slotted for my Brembos. After I did that I put new wheels on and I had to go with a 7mm spacer and longer stems so I could tighten the lugs enough. Now I need to replace my rear rotors but I dont want to use spacers and longer stems on my rears. Is it safe to assume I would have to do so if I went with the Rotora's? If so, anyone have experience with this and what do you recomend for replacements instead?

I already have them on the front and I like them allot. They stop well and little dust. Was not happy about having to go with spacers though.

I checked again, It's 22mm front & 7mm rear.

Sorry.

However, it's stillquite a bit. The reason being that I run Big Lips on PIAA
& Big Brakes that need clearance. I used a 20mm Kics adapter type of spacer
first & need 2 mm more to clear, So I put a 2mm on top of the kics 20mm.

It's being 6 month. So far so good. I have 1mm clearance between wheel & Brake caliper, pretty darn close to touching

Did you have to go with longer stems too?
