stupid centercap..FIT! suggestions?

i have 17" adr's that i test fitted when i bought in december, and looking to put them on soon in the spring.

the previous owner had spacers on, but i wont have them. and i cant get the centercrap to go on THE REAR because the part of the hub that sticks out to go through the hole in the center of the wheel wont allow the cap to push in.

has anyone had this problem? any suggestions?
+38 offset but i dont think that has anything to do with this.
thanks

take off the hub cover (bronze looking thing )it should fit after that ,
if the front center cap fits the rear should fit ,the front hub sticks out more than the back

what you mean "tapped them off" ? eh i dont want to do the spacers thing..the line between safe and unsafe without new lugs is too thin. and i dont feel lke doing that just for a centercrap. yes the dust caps , i suppose you can call them.

and ryz, hopefully when i try again it fits. can you really take something off the rear hub?

You can just remove the rear dust caps. You can also use a hammer and smash the outer part of the dust cap in.

shaping the centercap to fit is a possibility yup..

and yeah i was thinking of just leaving off the rear caps since the front are the important ones..but even though im not **** anymore i would feel better with the completed look.
