no I don't need wheel spacers. They will fit, but the hole that fits around the hub, that should be tight against the ring, so that the weight is distributed put on the axle. When the ring is to big, it doesn't put the weight on the hub, instead it puts it on the wheel studs. You can correct it buy installing hub centric rings.

I got pro comp 7005

I understand this. I was just linking the wheel spacers to show you what the hub size was.

This place claims to do the sizing for you if you look in the notes.... [1]

I have no idea how to find out the wheel's hub size without calling the manufacturor. I'll have to do the same thing for my pro-comps when I order them, seriers 7089.

I'm no expert but I don't think you have to have a hub-centric wheel. I'd be willing to bet that the vast majority of folks running aftermarket wheels don't have rings. I'd check with a couple tire shops before dishing out $$ for something that may not be necessary.
