Got my 03 style cobra wheel kit and the front center caps wont fit from the grease cap. I tried to massage the cap some but they still stick out to far.
I did read this could be a issue on there site. Has anyone else had this issue with there SVE wheels? Im guessing ill need spacers but which ones and will
i need new studs? I dont feel the wheels have that much more room to move out without them looking weird.

And for those that run spacers do you run them in the back also or just front?

yeah, you really need the smaller style hub that is found on the SN95 spindles to mount that wheel and run the center cap.

Your options really are to not run the cap, use a small slip on spacer (no idea how much will be needed) or go to SN95 spindles and brakes.


EDIT: I was assuming 5-lug here

Ordered some spacers per LMRs advice. Seems a little odd they made these wheels for 4 lug foxes but they dont fit with out a spacer or different spindles?
