I know that this may seem dumb, but the only reason I don't want to get the 18" HP Racing EVO's is because the front center caps won't fit unless you get wheel spacers, which I don't want to do.

Has anybody found other center caps that will fit on the wheels?

you dont need spacers for the centercaps to fit on... you can either modify them like i will do as soon as i have time, and just cut a plastic piece that mimics the shape of the centercap (i think Bluesbrekr already has done this as well as many others), or you can trim down the metal that prevents the centercap from fitting on.

 

Oh cool. Do you have a close up pic of the center cap and how the metal needs to be trimmed or whatnot?

 

Jusy ordered a set of 18" HP Evo's for my 02' Maxima, I here some max's need the spacers and other don't? how Come? and why do people steer away from them (no pun intended)...

 

this is the best pic i have of the metal piece that needs to be trimmed. it sticks out no more than a 1/4 inch

 

5th gen people are using front spacers in order to get the center caps to fit.

 

I glued some round plastic discs together and painted them black, then stuck the center cap on the discs. See sig pic....

 

Cool. How did you attach the plastic disks to the wheel though? Got a write up?
