That "ring" helps bear the weight of the vehicle to the wheel. When the wheel is snugged up tight via the lugs, the marriage of that ring to the hole in the wheel is vitally important. If your wheels won't fit the stock spare tire holder then you have the wrong wheels and need to get them changed out. You can ruin bearings, lugs, the wheels themselves, etc. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>
That's what I was getting at. Additionally, if the center hole of the wheel covers that "ring" it means that the back of the wheel can't be sitting flush against the hub, which is REALLY phucked up.
