Spacers are also commonly used to fix backspacing & clearance issues.  Unlike adapters, spacers will keep the same bolt pattern as the vehicle. Hub Centric wheel spacers pilot by the hub of the vehicle. This means they center on the hub of the vehicle while simulating the piloting lip on the face side.
