19" ADR M-Classics -- Need HELP!!

I recently mounted a set of 19x8.5 front and 19x9.5 rear ADR M-Classics on my 1999 CLK Cabrio. The rear wheel was hubcentric, but the front was not.

Does anybody know the diameter of the front wheel hub (centerbore)?

Also, I was able to use the rear center caps, but could not use the fronts because the axle dust cap (covers the nut and holds in the grease) is in the way. Has anybody had this issue? If so, what was the solution?

Thanks in advance for your help.

WOW, you must have hammered the living Sheet out of the dust caps?

The rear ADR's had a bore of 66.56, but the salesman at ADR told me they dont have a 19x8.5 application with 66.56 center bore. I ordered a pair of hubcentric spacers for the front..

Still have the wheels...
I'm going to cut, shorten and weld the dust caps or machine some out of 6061 if I have time...
