I've heard that the hub centric rings will slightly help with the wobble. I'm guessing these kind of things vary between cars. The idling during stops are pretty common with the AWD IS250's and it comes and goes randomly for me. I'm not expecting anything drastic but, hoping that they will at least make a difference.

Spacers are used to push the mounting surface of your car out towards the fenders to give you the desired look you are going for. In essence, spacers, unless they have built in hug rings, causes you to lose the hub as your positioning point and instead, it gets transferred to your studs instead.

A quick google search gave me this, scroll down till you see "Hub Adapters"
Thanks for the detailed info. I'm going to look into this.

Judging from the pictures- I can use hub rings with the spacers, correct?
