    Could be both. I would say the lugs would square them up. If they fit tight to the center, then the center will also square them up.

    Those look like lug to me.

    They may fit perfectly onto the hubs, but the lugholes are machined to center on the stud once the lugnuts are snugged up.

    Personally I don't like spacers at all. At least these type are bolting on and 'should' be fine to use.

    Hub centric spacers are better IMO as it uses the hub to center the wheel also, and not just the studs.
