There's a way to fill with faces only the area between the larger circle and the the smaller one? I mean.. It's a wheel and I'm trying to fill the rubber part of it.
Using the fill function F it fills everything inside the bigger circle.

1$\begingroup$ I don't think is possible to create an unique n-gon capable of filling those boundaries. You should at least make two regions. Would this in your case be suitable or you are looking for a one-face solution? $\endgroup$– CarloCommented Feb 5, 2016 at 2:57

1$\begingroup$ Here's a link to the Blender for dummies 3rd edition book's page about n-gon limitations where it is said that such feature "is not currently supported" referring to the 2015 versions of Blender. $\endgroup$– CarloCommented Feb 5, 2016 at 3:30

If both circles have the same number of vertices you can use the Bridge Edge Loops (from the menu Mesh > Edge > Bridge Edge Loops, or press F3 to bring up the search menu, and start typing bridge edge loops)
It will not fill as an NGon, that is generally not desirable anyway, instead creating an even quad-based topology.

Also, another way to do this, would be to add in a circle, hit F to fill it. Then hit I to inset the circle to a desired size, then simply delete the inner circle.
