Why does one need to remove the retainer rings on the wheel studs? Could you elaborate on that?

Because you want the spacers as flush a possible.

I want it to look aggressive and give me stability and from what I've seen wheel spacers are the way to go.

Do wheel spacers cause wheel shakes at all for anyone?

Did you remove the washers that hold the brakes onto the lug studs? That's the only place people find problems like that.
