Spacers w/ new wheels (rear hubs)

I bought a set of rotas from wheeldude. Wheels were great, but the wheels didn't sit properly even with the supplied hub centric rings in them for the rears. The fronts fit fine. To solve my problem, I put 3mm spacers on the rear wheels, and then the wheels fit fine. Because of that, my wheels (17x7.5 +45) were at +42 offset in the back, and it rubs when I have load in the back.

My question is, do I have to do this to all aftermarket wheels I get?

This is because Im looking to get a new set of wheels, I have a few choices and they're 7.5 wide with offsets of +42-45. I know hubcentric rings will be needed but will I need rear spacers? If i do, then that will push my wheels out some more (lower offset), which means more rubbing and I'll just have to settle for wheels with like +50 offset instead..hahaha..

help please...thanks in advance
 
i order my wheels from edgeracing and they fit perfect with the hubcentric rings. no issues what so ever. i believe mine are 17x7 with a 45 offset
 
I had to run 3mm spacers on my wheels cause the center caps kept popping off my back wheels, other than that my gram lights fit fine on the front and rear.
 
forgot to add..the wheels im looking at are either some rays (volks/gram lights) ,Works or some Weds..

so yeah..just wanna know if just only hubcentric rings are needed and no spacers.
 
If they have a big enough hub bore, it shouldn't be a problem. My Rotas have the same problem as yours, but my Enkei RPF1s do not.
