HELP: 18x8.5 ADR M-Classic

Hello:

New to forum, and hope someone can offer a solution.
I have a 2003 C230K and I just installed a set of 18x8.5 ADR classics.

The problem is : The center cap pops off the front wheels.
Is there a way I can get my OEM wheel caps (or replica Mercedes) to fit the ADR wheels?

I thought of using wheel spacers in the front, but I worried the additional
space will cause the wheel to stick out beyound the fender.

Thanks.

The center caps pop off the front wheels because the hub is too long??

you can probably put spacers, what offset are your wheels??

sounds like the wheels aren't properly torqued and are flexing...
