K30 Aftermarket Rim Center Cap Mod

Has anyone modified (successfully) a center cap on an aftermarket rim to fit over a K30 Dana 60 front axle hub? I recently purchased Black Rock Series 942 Type D rims for my K30.

I am fine with leaving the caps off if needed but figured since I have them if I could cleanly make them fit I'd try it. The OEM hub caps had the center hole to fit over the hub.

If anyone has done this before and could share pictures or method you used it would be appreciated.

First thing I would try is contacting Black Rock and asking if they have an open cap style that fits that wheel. I looked it up, that wheel in 8x6.5 has a center bore of 5.15”, is that correct? If so, this might work: https://www.roughcountry.com/product...r-cap-usc515-o

Yep that is correct. Great idea, I didn’t realized other places sold those caps. For $20 it isn’t worth trying to modify the current ones, I’ll give Black Rock a call and see what they have.
