Default Re: new rims and bad balance?

This is a ring:



This is a spacer:

Ok so this is what I think Ive got on my hands....Generic spacers on the back because they needed the clearence from the back rotors, No spacers on the front because ?????, I dont know why.

So now do I need hubcentric rings on all 4 wheels; to align the spacers on the back and to align the (spacerless) front rim to hub? Or must there be spacers up front too?

Thanks for your help guys
