Got a set of 03-04 Cobra 4 lug replica wheels from LMR, these are going on my 93GT with stock spindles, coil overs and tubular control arms.
When I went to install the fronts the grease cup pushes out the center cap on the wheel ?
I tried flattening the grease cup a little but still not enough clearance.
All the info on LMRs site talks about rear wheel clearance issues and maybe rack limiters but nothing about center depth issues.
I could run spacers up front and would only need about 3/16" but just curious if anyone else has run into this issue with these wheels?
Like I said front spindles are stock, the tubular control arms/coil overs shouldn't effect this fitment.

It says on their website will require an 8mm spacer to clear grease cap. I know because I was looking at those wheels at one point. They are really nice.

Yes i ran into this same issue, I just removed the center caps after loosing one of them. I also tried to flatten the grease caps to no avail. I run a 245 up front so i cant afford to space the wheels out anymore than they are as the car is lowered, I already had to roll the front fenders.

Oh Ok, I must of missed that..duh.
Yeah I'm going to try and space them out as little as possible with flattening the cap and a 3/16" spacer.
I run 235 up front so I'll see what they look like, may have to roll fender.
