I installed my rims and the rear cap does not fit.



Any ideas?

EDIT: Rims are from a 2004 G35 Infiniti.

 

take the hub cap off...

 

looks ugly without it

 

Yaas - I had a similar problem when I put rims from a Mazda on. The hub dust cap on the car is too big for the hole in the rim, right ? I just beat the hll out of the cap till it fit. Later when I did brakes, i just left it off ... that was 2 years ago. Eventually it'll f--- the bearings, but modern bearings are 'sealed' so it'll be a long time unless I go off-road.
I suggest you pull the caps and forget it. Maybe someone here will come up with a part number that'll fit under the rim cap, but the dealer wouldn't try to check ... no measurements on his computer list.
Good luck if you try to find something.

 

PS - I tried back then for assistance here on the org and got nada.
Bueno suerte.

 

thanks for your input! I will try to beat the heck out of that piece and make it fit.

 

I gave up on my caps. had the same problem looked and looked.

 

to solve this you can hammer them flat, I have done this, it gives that space so the center caps will fit

 

will try this weekend

 

you shouldnt take them off to hammer though, keep em on of they might not fit back on ;]

 

I think he is trying to put the stock maxima center cap on the G wheels in which case that is not possible. If you want to keep a nissan center cap on your wheels try some 2002+ nissan center caps they are smaller diameter.
