What you mean lug centric rims dont fit? Are you trying to say that the hub hole in the rims are too small? or you tring to say that the dust cap alone is holding the rims from going further onto the hub? Cause I have never seen or heard of a dustcap getting in the way, cause the rim is still a good 2"-3" deep, and im sure any dust can clear that.

You dont want to take that dust cap off either, it holds grease for the rear rotor.

I think I know exactly what you're talking about. I had the same problem when I changed to my Tantrums. I couldn't think of a more clever way to deal with it so I did it the ooglie way by cutting the wire ring around the cap that goes over the cap and supergluing it to the rim so that it would stay. Hope that helps.
