VR6CABBS 1,311 Posted July 27, 2014 Report Share Posted July 27, 2014 I've just fitted a set of Audi tt comp wheels to my golf VR. The fronts are perfect but as I tighten the rear wheels the centre hubcaps push my wheel centre caps off? Can't see anyway of keeping them on as the centre of my hub protrudes leaving no room to put the centre cap on. Helppppppppp. Any ideas people...CheersCarl Link to post Share on other sites

VR6CABBS 1,311 Posted July 27, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 27, 2014 Yea are they fouling in these?You mean poking through the middle of the wheel?? Yes if that's what you mean. But if I remove them won't I loss the grease from the bearings and the will go dry????? Link to post Share on other sites
Lukey. 381 Posted July 27, 2014 Report Share Posted July 27, 2014 If that's the issue you can cave them in no bother, I've had no issue from running cars for years without them either, I had a sport Clio for 3 years didn't have any. But yea better if they are there, knock them flat. Or I have seen totally flush ones before. Link to post Share on other sites
