Rim Spacer?

Rim Spacer?
i sold my old 18's recently and bought some new ones but they didnt come with the rim spacer's. my old rims fit perfect but the new ones are 3 peice, 4 and 5 stud and there are these rings i was told about that needs to be put in between the rim and my hub to make my wheels fit evenly on my hub. I went to a wheel shop and all the ones they had did not fit my car and the rim. do you think i will be able to get some fabricated?

RE: Rim Spacer?
I have no idea what you are talking about... the only thing I can think of is a hub centric ring which isn't a must. Its mearly something you can buy to ensure your wheel is centered on the hub. If you are talking about an actual spacer then it shouldnt be needed either. Every setup will be different, so what the spacer does is change the offset of the wheel by "pushing" it out towards the wheelwell. This is usually done for the look so the wheels are more flush or can be used because the wheel is scraping the inside of the wheelwell and needs to be moved farther from the hub. Does any of this sound familiar?

hey guys sorry i should have been more clear. it is the centre hub ring. my car wobbles like my wheels are out of line because i dont have these rings. thats what i was told by the rim shop near my house. other people have told me this isnt necessary.
