Posted: Fri Mar 15, 2013 2:26 amWell I took it to pep boys to get the rims on the tires and he put them on and called me saying they didn't go right the tire was wobbly .. He said it was spacers but I don't know..

Make sure you are using tuner lugs and they have the hub rings if they are univeral fit wheels.
The tuner lug nuts have a different base and will hold the wheel to the hub securely. If you are using factory lugs and no hub centric rings, there is a strong possibility it's not seated flat and may actually be off-centered.

not sure about the rings, I've always had those provided with the wheels...
But the lugs you can find on the shelf. Pep boys (when it was still around in my area) always had Honda thread patterned tuner lugs on the shelf.
Both SHOULD be common items at wheel shops and parts stores.
