Enkei RPF1 on GTUs

Im thinking about getting some Enkei RPF1 for the GTUs. 17x8 and 17x9 +35. My only concern is the center caps. On every picture I see of these wheels on a 2nd or 3rd gen they have no center caps. Is it because the center caps wont clear the hub dust caps? Or do the wheels just not come with them? I see there are center caps on other cars with them, and it appears they are available for purchase separately.

My other concern is clearance. I have KYB AGX and B&G springs with the Racing Beat lowering strut tops in the front and a coil cut from the rear springs. The car sits pretty low on the stock 16s with about 24" from the ground to the fender rims. So the car is lowered about 2-2.25" from the stock suspension. I absolutely will not roll fenders or cut fender liners to stuff these under the car if that's an issue.

the center caps won't clear the dust covers on the front. They make shorter cover from another car that will work I read somewhere but I don't know how true that is. Centercaps for rpf1's 25 bucks a piece which is why you dont see them alot. I ran the same size and offset with 225/45 front 255/40 rear with no problems on my vert with RB coupe springs and tokico illuminas. Cutting a coil idk how much room you will have but I had alot to spare. If you want a bunch of pics to get an idea pm me.
