[T3] original Mahle wheels-new center caps fit, but back wheels won't go back on!

[John L. Morgan IV]

No problem with lug bolts. I have the ISP longer ones. It is just the
center caps in the rear fit horribly. I got one on using a hammer and a
piece of 2X4. The other goes on, but just doest sit quite right. I tried
cutting it a bit with a Dremel. I might have to use some Locktite and go
with it.
