Quick question about center hubcaps

Im not sure if im using the right words but im talking about the center hub cap that collects grease for the bearings, the original caps are litterally 1-2mm too tall/far out and i cant fit my new rim center caps on because of it, i wanted too look around if maybe there where some other cars that had the same diameter but where the caps are lower/arent as far out as the original ones.

if the hub dust caps are in the way of your new wheels from utilizing the wheel centercaps, then get 3mm spacers for the front/back wheels. If, of course, the wheels are not already too far out towards the fender arches.
