G35 Center Caps No Fit

I put a set of G35 sedan wheels on my 93 Max. They look great and don't rub. However, it appears the bearing dust cap in the rear rotors is not allowing the center cap to fit into the wheel. Has anyone come across this problem? If so, how did you fix it?

a 5mm spacer should cure the problem...

I just read in the wheel/tire section that you can pound in the edges of the center caps to solve the problem too. I am not much on smashing things, but I really don't want to space them out any more than they already are if I don't have too.

I agree about the spacers, i don't like to use them either...but anyhoo, it's just a dust cover, there is some room to "smash" them in a bit without hurting anything, so to speak...so go for it..

I had the same problem until I did the Z31 rear brake mod and the rotor gave me that extra few mm I needed to make them fit.
