Should I be using hubcentric wheel spacers with hubcentric wheel rings?
My helo wheels came with hubcentric rings. They worked great. No vibrations at high speeds.
I just put on 10mm ichiba spacers. They come with their own hubcentric rings that go inside the spacer.
Should I be using ichibas rings and the rings that came with the wheels at the same time? Or one or the other?

yes I have extended studs. Im not too familiar with spacers but Im using ichiba v1 spacers. The hub rings in this pic are not built into the spacer. Those are the hubcentric rings.
These are the hub rings that came with the wheels
Right now Im using both

you have to use both. I am sure those rings that came with the spacers are good for stock wheel bore diameter but the new wheels have a bigger wheel bore diameter so you will need the rings. Just put the rings that came with the wheels onto the aluminum rings that came with the spacers and you will be fine.

That makes sense. Right now I am using both but Im feeling some vibrations and the steering wheel is shaking at speeds above 65mph. Anything I can do? Before the spacers (2 weeks ago) I was just using the hub rings that came with the wheels and I had no vibrations at all.

hit me up with a text... I'd like to know if the plastic hubrings are tight fit on the ichiba
if they are then I'd suggest getting metal hubrings.... that and double checking that you didn't put rear tires in the fronts
