Center Caps

What year is your vehicle and which wheel size/style do you have? Describe your caps...three clips on back or five?
Some of the OEM center cap styles are fixed-size for either 12mm (97-00) or 14mm (00-03) lugnuts, while others have spring clips that are adjustable for either size. That may be the issue.
As noted in the previous reply, the factory lugnuts (shown below) have a groove/notch between the nut & washer that allow for the cap clips.

Again, what year is your vehicle? What size/style wheel do you have?
Also, do your caps have a part number (on back) that begins with 'XL', 'F65' or 'YL'? (that's not a yes/no question, I need to know which one of the three).
Without that info, there is no way to help. Do not use silicone.

I've been battling this problem for some time now. For some reason the center cap companies don't realize that Ford made a lug size change in 2000 from 12mm to 14mm lug studs. Just make sure you are getting centercaps from the same year range that your current truck is. From what I understand, the tricky part is if you have a 2000 truck they changed somewhere in the middle of that year.

I also constantly contact other sellers with corrections to their listings.
