I just got my tires swapped over to my new 6ULs and just discovered this problem. Have any of you guys figured out a solution?

Nope I gave up and roll without them. If you can figure something out lets us know.

This, we're actually required to remove them.

Hmmm... I've been building my car to be a fun daily driver, not a track car. Hence, I'd prefer to have the center caps for a cleaner look.

Do you think that adding a 5mm wheel spacer would add enough clearance to pop the center caps on? If so, how would the 5mm spacers affect the way the car drives?
