Default Not sure if I need wheel spacers or something else...

Ok.. I have a 01 accord I have had a set of 18" aftermarket wheels for it for about 4yrs now...I just put them back on a few days ago..and the tech told me that I need wheel spacers for the front...from what I understand if I put wheel spacers on, wouldn't that decrease the amount of thread needed to put the bolts on??? Also what is the center gold colored circle that is soposed to be on the wheel??? someone please help me out..

You might need hubcentric rings, not spacers.

what is the reason why he told you that you needed wheel spacers?

what tire size are you using, offset and width?

and yes, sandwich style wheel spacers will decrease your stud's threads

he said I would get alot of vibration...and because the wheels are sitting on the studs instead of the centered ring...
