Default Rims trouble plz help!!!

hey wats up, i bought these two rims for my EF9, i put them on and they over gap the wheel hub. on the inside of the rim it says 4x100 and under it, is says 4x114. the rims mount and everything but it feels like there wiggling or something like if the rim isnt centered with the disc. the rims are not damaged. rims are 15in inside says 4x100 right under it says 4x114 tire size is 205/50....i took them off and put back the integra special edition rims which are 15in 4x100 and the tires are 205/60 and i have no problems with theses. so wat im wondering is if the 4x114 under the 4x100 have something to do wit the problem. any advise will be appreciated thanks....

4x114 and 4x100 are totally different. they will not line up to each other. not sure what that means.

got a pic of the rims?

but, getting from what you are saying you need a hub spacer (think that's what it's called ). it's a small ring that fits over your hub to make your hub bigger. which would then center the rim and stop it from wiggling .

see that's the only thing too. it's not a one size fits all type of thing. you gotta make sure that it fits snug, and that it's not to big.

and you're looking at the wrong type of spacer.

just looked, you something like this;

they're called hubcentric rings not spacers. first you need to measure the OD of your hub and the the inner diameter of the wheels to know which rings you need. Or just take your car/wheels to a tireshop and they should find something
