Spacer/hubcentric ring question

So, I have a set of rpf1 17x9.5 +38 and Ichiba 20mm spacers with the wrong hubcentric rings. I believe I have a set for wheels with the evo bore and not the rpf1 bore which is 73mm ( they're really loose in btw the hub and wheel) I just want to verify that I need 67.1mm-73mm rings with the Ichiba spacers so that they fit properly and where is a ggod place to get a set? (aluminum) and do I get the same size for the rears with no spacers?

Yes, all RPF-1s I've ever seen are 73mm bore. Tire Rack sells the needed ring.

Whether the "nose" of your spacers is 67.1mm is something you'd have to measure, but the nose on Ichiba spacers almost always matches the bore on the inside face, so if they fit snugly on the hub, the nose is almost definitely 67.1.

73-67MM is the size. Needs to have the right taper and nose to fit properly.

Do you sell just the rings in metal or Aluminum? I can't find them on the tirerack website. I need a set of 4 of these 73-67

I found them off amazon.

Amazon Amazon

$24 and I'll get them tomorrow. It was more expensive to ship them than to buy, but the new tires show up tomorrow according to Tirerack.

The problem I have with plastic hub centric rings is that I melt them on hot days when auto crossing.

If you prefer the aluminum, Z1 performance has them.
