Did you get adapters or spacers? Adapters usually bolt to your hub using your existing wheels studs and supplied lug nuts. They have their own studs that you mount the wheels onto. Maybe these washers are to be used with the lug nuts to attach the adapters to your hubs. Spacers just fit between the hub and the back of the wheel so no washers would be needed.

I'm guessing the adapters don't have tapered holes. The washers go behind the lugnuts to the factory studs. You have to use a different type of lugnut with these, I assume they're included. Reuse your stock lugnuts on the wheel.
