Howdy folks. I recently bought new custom wheels for my ‘94 F-250 and seem to be having a problem getting the center caps to work. Is this a common problem with the hubs sticking out so far and if so what are the solutions? Thanks
Common problem? I would guess not. The topic doesn’t pop up very often.
I assume you are talking about rear hub? Was this wheel and cap listed as fitting this vehicle from the manufacturer? Is there a deeper cap available to exchange?
I'm sure we all know what you're talking about. Unless you can get different caps for the wheels you bought, you're kind of SOL. I know American Racing has deep enough caps, but I don't know about anyone else.
Post the make and model of the wheels you're installing. There might not be a specific cap for 8x6.5" wheels on these trucks, but the caps for later 8x170mm wheels might fit.

Well that’s obviously not going to work. You can’t have an enclosed center cap on the front
Obviously. Front is manageable by popping out the center of the cap and dremel out the hole a little more to fit. I didn’t clarify the back is the bigger issue. Thanks everybody for your help. It is looking like unless the manufacturer has a deeper cap I’m SOL and need to look for other options
I had the same issue with my wheels. The back center piece would not work because of the hub.. The center piece is held on by three allen bolts that you can see in the picture. What I did was bought some hollow pipe from HD and some longer black allen bolts. I cut the pipe to the correct length and painted the pipe black and the very small space between the center piece and the hub was painted black. I don't think you can tell even by this picture it has been modified to fit.
