I think they sent you two different set sizes. The ones for my rims they only go in the front of the car and you don't need them for the back.

You need to clarify which you are talking about...

Hubcentric Rings fit flush inside the centerbore of the wheel. They center the wheel on the hub. They do not affect offset.

Wheel Spacers are flat plates that go between the mounting surface of the rim and the hub. They are used to reduce positive offset. You would never use them on a Prelude because any aftermarket wheel you buy will have less positive offset than the stock +55mm. e.g: If I used a 6mm wheel spacer on the stock (+55mm) rims, I would get an offset of +49mm as a result (+55-6=49).
