_____urgent ?______
I just got my rims, but before I put them on I have a quick question. The ones I got are 9.5 all around but with 255 front and 275 rear. My question is; is it wrong hat I got the same rim size all around. B/c the factory wheels are diff in size for the front and rear.

I wish someone would answer my question though, why are the factory wheels made bigger in the back. I understand that tires make the difference, but still why are the factory rims diff sizes, why didn't they just do the method I am using(like many others on the forum) which is to have the same wheel size all around, but with diff size tires, thanks to anyone who can answer this question.

The plastic rings are centering rings. They go in the back side of your rim and keep it centered while you tighten the lug nuts. This will help them stay centered that is it. It is not a spacer.
The factory uses different size rims for the perfect fit for the different tires. If the factory uses different size tires/wheels it is to help reduce oversteer.
