Could you simply drill another hole in the back of the rim and run two values?

For me, if the 7J gives a wider seat for the tyre then they are the ones to go for. A better spread for the tyres will help with that feeling of rolling on cornering as the tyre is more stable. I've never gone with spacers except on my Cherokee rear that had a rear track about an inch narrower than the front which looked really silly.
