Center Caps not fitting new wheels
I just bought 18X8.5 front and 18X9.5 rear BR6 Replica Alloys from Discount Tire with Dunlop Direzza's 225F and 255R. They look great but the chrome star center caps are not fitting on the front. Its seems like the dust hub cap is sticking out too far and I need maybe an 1/8 inch for the caps to seat properly. The rears fit perfectly. Not sure if anyone has run into this problem before. I'll also will post pics as soon as it stops raining........

The wheels 18X8.5 $163.00, 18X9.5 $171.00
The tires 225/40R-18 $148.00, 255/35R-18 $193.00
Total cost including discounts was $1613.03 and they were very cool to deal with.......
