Default Wheel Spacer Options - PLEASE READ IF YOU HAVE MIRO WHEELS

I just installed my new wheels, and hit a light snag: the rear wheel center caps won't snap in, it seems that the wheel hub pokes through the wheel center JUST enough to keep the cap from fully setting in. Wheels are Miro 111.

I believe my only option here is a wheel spacer? I REALLY don't want to do that for the sake of an aesthetic issue, especially considering if I want a hubcentric spacer this job just got bigger due to a need for longer wheel studs. I also like the way the wheels sit in the well right now.

I'd rather toss in a small 5/16" spacer and be done with it, though I've read this is a crappy option due putting stress on the studs, and they're not hubcentric. Any advice is appreciated!

have the center caps ground down on the back and use some 3m emblem adhesive to glue the center caps into the wheel

What he said^^^. Grind off some of the back of the center cap. If it still doesn't fit, buy some different caps.
