19 RUF wheels on 997, Shop just called...no spacers?

I was told my 997 is ready as I dropped off the car today to have the RUF 19 wheels installed, they are 11' wide. Here are the off sets....

fronts 8.5 x 19 56mm and rears 11 x 19 70mm

Many of you maybe sick of my RUF wheel posts but it has been a struggle getting real consistant data on this; talked to RUF auto center, other owners of 19 ruf wheels etc, Tire Rack regards to offsets etc...

More then one suggested 7mm spacer was best so purchased an H/R 7mm spacer kit and dropped off with the wheels. Shop just called and said wheels are on and they would NOT recomend the spacers and that the wheels fit nearly flush with the fenders and the 7mm spacers will push out the wheels to far? I guess I will be able to tell for sure in a few hours when I pick up the car. Any final words of wisdom would be great.... having a small child, full time job, shop a distance from my house it is a heacache getting this stuff done so hoping pickibg up the car today I can get it right and not have to go back....

thanks

I really want the wheels flush or near flush with the fenders......

I have a set of spacers Front and Rear, 7mm F, 15mm R with stock wheels. The rear wheels are flush to the fender and the fronts are just under. No rubbing at all.

Here are some pictures.

Worse case you can pull the wheels off and try the spacers.

IIRC - OEM is 19x11 +67

You shouldn't have any problems running a 7mm spacer unless you have tires wider than 305. I'm running 19x11 w/ 305s and my offsets are right around 60 in the rear. No sticking out of the wheelwells at all.
