It has to do with the offset. Spacers will only work if your goal is to push the wheels outward. I have the 22" OZ Canyons without spacers and they fit well.

i needed spacers because the spokes on my 22"wheels are set far back in the rim,because of the deep lip,and my brake discs are 20mm thicker than standard.

I dont have this problem with my factory 19"wheels,which go on without spacers,because the spokes are set on the front of the rim,giving adequate clearance behind...
