Spacers are totally safe if you go with a high quality name like H&R. I think you were fed a bit of misinformation.

How close are the spokes to the calipers? Are we talking 3-5mm or much larger?

Also, was fitment cleared with the Work factory in Japan before ordering? Typically they should be able to check for optimal fitment before the wheels are even ordered, but I can understand them taking the wheels back to resolve the issue if it was their mistake.
