Default Center caps on 18" HP EVOS

Anyone have issues fitting the center caps on the rear wheels on their A4 FWD( '97 to be more specific)? It seems that certain models the grease cap in the rear wheels stick out a bit thus preventing the center caps to be fitted correctly.

Couldn't find much info on AZ but found this post on Audiworld.

I know his rims are Flik Artics and mine is totally different but same problem the grease cap pokes the center cap out when the wheel is being fitted on.

Heres a pic off their thread

Any help is appreciated

Don't have an answer for you. I had HP Evo's on quattro with no issue.

Ahh thanks that helps. Yeah for some reason on the FWD, only the front fits flawlessly but the grease caps in the back pokes out. Maybe has to do with the drivetrain but still doesn't help me any.. wondering if you can hammer them in more &gt;

Just get small wheel spacers that will give you enough room
