The initial assumption was that you were using large spacers on the rear. Therefore, it sounded like the previous owner had used the wrong style of spacers. Now that you have clarified that they're only 7 mm's, it makes sense that they didn't have the hubcentric "collars". Small spacers ranging from 5 mm to 7 mm will still provide enough exposure to the hub that the wheel will "catch".
