BBS LM's Replica fitting issues
I having a problem with the lm's replicas they dont sit flush with the hub but get stuck on ring hub cap, do I remove the ring cap and make a custom cap or do I have the wheels machine down a few mm to fit properly?

Those fit fine when I had a set forever ago. They were snug, but they fit just fine. I realize this isn't very helpful but that's all I got.

I have had the wheels machined a few times, you can use small spacers too.

Luis,
had same problem with another brand wheels. It helped when i sand a hub slightly to get all dirt out of it.
