well i found a replacement rki wheel but found out that its a 7" width wheel. and i have all 8" width wheels. is there any possible way to put maybe a spacer to fix this or this is just a bad idea?

I'm not an expert about wheels, but I am an expert at bad ideas.
I see offset with a spacer being a problem, I would worry about how solid the wheel would mount with a spacer even if offset was correct, and you would then have one tire narrower than the other three. Sorry to be a downer.

Nope, can't use it unless it's the same size. How do you know the new one is 7" and the old ones 8" - did you measure them yourself or are you trusting a seller or someone else? Width is measured inside the wheel across the bead of the tire - so it's hard to do with a tire mounted!
