Here as some pics of my caps, I took a hole saw and drilled the front ones to access the lockouts. My caps measure 3" from the rim to the outside of the cap.

Your caps are different than mine, it looks like yours just snap into the rim where mine bolt on with those little allen head screws. I would bet that you could get deeper caps through eagle that would fit over the hub...
