Anyone know how to remove the hub cap (circled in red below) properly? I need to remove it in order to get enough clearance to install my wheels.

Screw-type driver! It's only a dust cover, a flat head will pop it right off. U may have to tap it in with a mallet though. Not sure about the wisdom of removing it, you may end up contaminating the bearing grease and frying ur wheel bearings. Wheels with the proper off-set or backspacing should not have any clearence issues. Good Luck.

Thats the thing, my rims were marked as 42mm offset...but only the box says it, I cannot see it marked anywhere else on the rim. I am so upset right now. I just got new tires mounted on them. I guess I am a fool for not testing them out first before buying them. Looks I will be forced into getting H&R spacers.

Does anyone know if this think is packed with greese? Has anyone ever smashed them in with a hammer? I heard guys with HP Evo wheels had to do this.
