mr jdm Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 Has anybody come up with a solution to get the center caps to fit on the front to clear the wheel bearing bolt The wheels are xxr 512s My original plan was to just get rid of the factory grease cap, since the wheel sits so close I think it would seal it enough for the grease to stay in there. I was also planning on greasing it often. However, even with the factory grease cap, it will not clear it. All I can think of is cutting some threads off or using a wheel spacer. However, I dont think I would be comfortable using a wheel spacer because my 245's are already cutting it close for rubbing. Any ideas?

mr jdm Posted April 2, 2011 Author Share Posted April 2, 2011 I read somewhere that Big Phil got his center caps on. I would really like to get some advice or ideas on this. Any suggestions? Anybody, all the insane fabrication on this forum, I need some help! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pharaohabq Posted April 22, 2011 Share Posted April 22, 2011 I dunno if it would work, but how about turning down or rolling the stock caps to fit closer? Probably turning a set of custom caps might be easier. Though even then I don't know if they'd clear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt K Posted May 20, 2011 Share Posted May 20, 2011 I've had that same issue with my old Fox body Mustang & cartain aftermarket wheels. I used 3M body double sided take to hold the cap to the wheel, rather than snapped in, gave me an additional 1/8" clearance. I also massaged the dust caps with a BFH (big frickin' hammer).
