Brake rotor dust cap

I mounted the new wheels and lowered my truck . I noticed that when I install the center caps , they are hitting the dust cap a little . I need a little more room . Do they make a shallower dust cap for the 1.25 inch rotors and if so , who sells them ? If you happen to have a part number that would also help .
Thanks ,
Frank

How much is a little? You may have to use a hammer, and smash in the cap a little. I've seen it done a thousand times without any issues. Or, use a wheel spacer. If you use a spacer you may need longer wheel studs. Let me know if you find the longer studs, I've been looking for 3 months.
