Default Could I just have the wrong hub center rings? PLEASE HELP

I recently purchased a set of 19 by 8 Privat Legend wheels and tires for me LS430. They came with hub rings. Everywhere Ive looked says these should fit my car, but the front calipers are too far into the wheel so they wouldnt turn. So I pulled them off and am awaiting shipping them back to the vendor.

Everywhere you look though says these should have fit my car. Could it be I was sent the incorrect hub rings?

Hub rings don't have anything to do with how the wheel sits in relation to the brakes...

They basically ensure that the wheel is centered so that when you tighten the lugs, you don't mount the wheel off center...

If they don't fit, unfortunately they don't fit, the only way to fix it being to add spacers...
