Default Hub centric?

Sorry for a dumb sounding question but what does "hub-centric" mean?

I have had the OEM BBS's and two sets of Rotas (Boosts and Tarmac II's)... all just bolted right up perfect fit.

Does hub-centric mean there is some kind of spacer... or ring?

hubcentric means the wheels are produced with the correct inner hub diameter for your car. Most wheels are not hubcentric and simply require an inner plastic or aluminum sleeve to reduce the hub bore diameter down to match the cars hub

A search will bring up quite a few results on similar questions.
