Default Center Caps Won't Fit on New Wheels

I just replaced my stock 17" pony wheels with 18" FFR 500 wheels. On the front my wheel center caps won't fit because its hitting the bearing housing and it just pops off. Back are fine fine. Do they make any wheel spacers or something I can get to make them fit on??

Default RE: Center Caps Won't Fit on New Wheels

You trying to use the stock center caps i take it? When I installed my 17 inch fr500 wheels. They would fit fine on the back wheels but on the front they wouldn't go on since the center whole in the wheel was smaller. I ended up taking the center caps they supplied and removed the emblem from the backing. And did the same for the stock center caps. Then reglued the stock emblem and the backing of the center cap they supllied. Then i trimed it down to the diameter of the backing of the new backing and smoothed it and painted black on the edge were i trimed so they would fit.
