Hi BigBobby (reminds me of Lock, Stock and 2 smokin Barrels, it sounds like their ***** 😂😂😂, sorry),

a first to know about which spacers you need is to find out for which models the wheel you bought was advertised. So hopefully for yours, then the OEM spacers should be fine...
otherwise try the trick with the washers on the axle to get to the size you need so that the discs are centered nicely in the calipers.

sooner or later, a gentleman who goes by. multihdrdr will pick up on this thread and give some authorative advice... he knows it all!

best, niv
