That size wheel are you ordering? The backspace, combined with the width will determin how much distance from the hub face to the edge of the wheel.ie: 15x6" wheel, 3" backspace, you end up with ~2 3/4" before the cap sticks beyond the edge of the wheel. Get a 15x10" wheel with the same 3" back space and you have almost 7" of space to stick a cap.

Have you got a full or semi-floater? Get a cap long enough to clear the axle. Otherwise, just get the shortest one they have if you don't like tall center caps.
