There seems to be a lot of misunderstanding and misconception regarding wheel spacers. So today I thought I'd try to clear a lot of that up.
The four main types of spacers:
Non Hub Centric Slip On
Hub Centric Slip On
Hub Centric Bolt On
Non Hub Centric Bolt On
Some specific wheel spacers that adapt the bolt pattern on your car to a different bolt pattern would be a wheel adapter and would follow the same principals as explained in this video.
Anyways, thanks for watching and I hope that helped clear some things up :)

*Regarding the comments about the lugs have tapers on them so the wheel will be centered regardless of hub centric or not:* Yes although the lugs do have tapers to center the wheel and or spacer on the hub, there is a much higher chance of it not being centered when not running a hub centric setup and this is where most the issues of spacers come from. Which is why I suggested to only get hub centric. *For instance:* A lot of people bolt on their wheel and hand tighten their lugs to maybe 15 ft/lbs of torque. Then they lower their car on the ground and torque it to spec. If the wheel doesn't have a hub diameter properly matched with the hub diameter on the car then there is a possibility that when lowering the car on the ground and the full weight of the car is applied to the wheel, that the wheel will move off center since the lugs are not fully torqued and are not holding the wheel 100% in place. Then when you go to torque the lugs, you will torque the wheels off center. Make sense? So by having it hub centric it eliminates that room for error. And considering the negligible price difference between hub centric spacers and non hub centric it's best to go with a hub centric setup Thanks :)

Also depends on if your vehicle uses a hub centric or lug centric hub design. Most vehicles I have seen are hub centric, but some are lug centric!

OffBeat Garage yes and people also tend to ignore the correct two stage tightening process and some of them even tighten the nuts/bolts in a circular manner instead of going 1324 or 142635.

If you tighten in a star pattern gradually you eliminate the need for hubcentric rings. The star patter applies even pressure and will gradually center the wheel

When I installed my 16x8 TE37s on my e30 I run a 5mm, non-hub centric, spacer but it does have the same center bore as my hub. Enough of the hub sticks out past the spacer where I can use my hub centric rings to center my wheels. I did lots of research before purchasing anything. Thanks for this video, I'm sure it'll help a lot of people 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Thank you for great informative video. I have 38 mm hub spacers for the rear, but the hubs are slightly to small or thick spacers. I sanded down about 1mm of the inner hub to make it fit my hub perfectly. Also my factory offset +40, however with the new rims and hub spacers it should be -18

Nicely done; clear explanation and graphics!! Wish I knew of hub-centric 30 yrs ago; I mounted some non-stock wheels w. new tires on an E23 BMW. Wheels had same lug circle dia, but they shook - sometimes a little, sometimes a lot. Had the tire shop re-balance 2x, but never fixed it. They never mentioned hub diameter... The car had tapered lug bolts; even if they 'should' center the wheel it wasn't good enough to be smooth at speed. I always torqued with 2-step or 3-step process. Another spacer benefit is similar to using centering rings. Wheel mfrs can make far fewer variants, which "should" make them less expensive and *might* make it easier to find a replacement for a damaged wheel.
