anyone have a solution to this or could I just have a wrong part. When I tighten lug nuts this oart on both rears forces the center cap off.
Can't keep center rim caps in place on this 90

could it be the wrong offset ???? Adding a small spacer would fix the issue but it would move the wheel further out.....
Does the wheel fit correctly other than the cap popping off ??? How much interference is there ? Is it more like .020" or 1/4" ???? If it's only a few thou then take a grinder to the center stud and grind it down a little so that it's not hitting the cap....

Wonder if the hubs were ever changed on your car?? some shim left out maybe?? aftermarket hubs?? I"d take a grinder to the end of bolt, as suggested above, unless it's really gross amount of metal and into that cotter pin......:clobbered:

When the stock 90 rims were on it, they did not have this issue.
