Rear center caps won't fit

[coremaster21]

Finally got my wheels on the car but the center caps will not fit on. Any ideas other than ordering a spacer for the rear?

Cut shafts off or use wheel spacers!!

What rim is that? Should have fit with no modification necessary IMO

It is just the rear wheels, really frustrating.

I'd call them and send them back. They machined the rears wrong (assuming your car's rear is not somehow modified). You should not have to do anything but bolt them on

I really do not want to do that if I do not have to. Another 3 months would suck lol. Would grinding down the shaft be a bad idea?

I'm not sure....I know me personally being conservative, I hate grinding anything down on this car to make something "work". It might not be a big deal or create too much negative consequence, it's just not something I would do lol. I'd wait and send them back.

Others will chime in and tell you more than me what the grinding negatives are. Good luck.

Cutting down the shaft won't harm anything.

I agree with C6zhombre , I would call them and if it is a mistake I would send them back.

Paying that much money, I would definitely call them and send them back! Isn't one of the C's in CCW custom anyway? Make them customize it.

Small world. Met your neighbor in a class and got talking about mustangs and he told me about this issue. Good luck with the fix.

I guess I will call them up and see what they say then.

Ahh, now I gotcha.

So apparently CCW sent the wrong center caps for the rear. It's always something...

Hmm, thats weird. That must be something unique to that D110 rim. I know my SP500s, the caps are identical on all 4. Doesn't matter where you put them, they fit the same.

Yeah, that is what I would've thought too. They said it had something to do with the caps being for a solid rear axle. Thanks for the help tho man, I was panicking.

That actually worked out well. They will probably have the correct caps to you quick. At least you don't have to send the wheels back and wait another 3 months.

i have the same wheels.... i ended up cutting about 1/4 inch off of the halfshafts.
