Clearance and spacer query

Thinking about getting a set of Prodrive P1 ($300 for the set can't go wrong imo) but thy are 17x7 +52 vs our +48, so I have 2 questions:

1) should I be concerned about backspacing although I know 4mm doesn't sound like much past experiences 4mm can make a world of difference.

2) has anyone had issues with hubcentric spacers (not the ones with the bolts but rather the "inserts" since I have ARP extended lugs on my car)

Thanks in advance!

I run 17x7 +52 BBS off an 02 WRX with 20mm bolt on spacers and it looks perfect. I plan to run ARP extended lugs, and press out the wheel bolts in the spacers to make it function as a slip in.

I tested that on my Forester XT which has ARP lugs and it worked great.
