the little that i know...
if wheel adapters are not hubcentric there will be vibration
also....
if your wheels do not have space in between where the bolts slide through, then the bolts attached to the original lugs will hit the wheel and you will not be able to attach your wheel

Chances are they wont fit if they are universal. Usually the mounting flange is flat on wheels like that.
I have bolt on spacers on the rear, 20mm IIRC. They are Egay specials with hubcentric rings. No problems so far.
Pros:
Stance, supposedly wider is better
You can even the front and rear offset
More tire clearance on the inside
Changes scrub radius and roll center
Cons:
Possibly more wear on the wheel bearings and/or ball joints
Less tire clearance on the outside, can lead to fender rolling
Possible damage to car if installed improperly or not checked regularly
Wheels need to have room on flange to fit lugs
Changes scrub radius and roll center

I recommend the H&R spacers, there's a new 15mm DRM version with the studs already mounted to the spacer that will just bolt up to your existing lugs. You just have to make sure there is enough clearance between the OEM studs and your wheels. If not then you will have to shave your OEM studs. This set should be out by mid Dec, but is on H&R's website already. Anything below that you will need to use the DRS version with the new extended studs. Anything above 15mm I would go with the DRM for a simpler install. The knurl you will need is 14.25mm, make sure you get that one. Mine mistakenly came with the 12.85mm knurl, but it's getting replaced soon.

It depends on the offset of your wheels for them to look wider with which "mm" spacer, but 7.5 will never look like 8 unfortunately. You wheels will just be pushed out more for the "perception".
