[Sigma]

Nope, they never fit!

Ask the dealer you bought your wheels from.

Ask for the deeper center caps

happend to me with a set of inovate's 16's ur man said 2 just cut it down a bit and should fit didn no weather 2 do it or not so just left it

happened to me on my fto, you can stick spacers on them - to push the wheel out a bit more, therefore allowing the caps to fit (usually 5mm will work).
or
run with out centre caps - aint needed


LOL just seen this thread has been bumped from several weeks ago!

Mine are like this too. Are the wheel studs / bolts (whatever they're called!) long enough for the spacers to be fitted, or do you have to get longer ones of those too.

Its the driveshaft/cv joint

No not that, the things the nuts go onto Cos you'll have less thread to use if you have spacers right?

I just emailed POTN where I got my Rota's from and they said speak to Rota directly, or look for alternative centre caps on eBay

Hi Alan,

Thank you for your enquiry. Unfortunately the caps that come with the grids are in fact the only ones that will fit into the wheels.

There are only one or two cars that face this problem with the drive shaft being too long and not allowing the cap to fit.

This is something that we are trying to sort but at the moment there is no other cap that we can offer, however once we have established a solution we will certainly keep you informed.

Looks like spacers are your only option really, or just don't fit them.

5 mm spacers work I had the same problem I have the same wheels
