Did I Remove a Spacer?

Hi. Never had any wheels with spacers and I think the previous owner put some on. Having some rub, so I want to remove them.

This was from an Enkei NT-03 wheel. Can anyone confirm that you think this was a spacer that I removed? (It wasn't a piece that Enkei uses to make it an ET38?)

I had to pry it some and then tap it out. The center ring fit snuggly into the female of the wheel. I put the wheel back on without this ring and it seems okay as far as I can tell but thought I'd get confirmation that this seems to be a spacer ring before I take the other one off. It seems to be about 10mm.

They're 12mm spacers according to this website => https://www.blackhawkjapan.com/products/kyo-ei-sp80c

Wow, thanks for finding that! Without spacers, the inside of tire is only like 6mm from shock body. So I might try a 5 mm spacer.
