72 Chevy Copo Cap Fitment Issue

Alright everyone bought a set of copo camaro caps for my 72 not long ago but the hub (rotor) seems to be to long for them to fit. Anyone else ran into this if so what did you do to make em fit? seems like its a quarter inch or so from fitting??? Thanks

I hope someone has an answer. Mine have been laying on the shelf for a few years.

Take the bearing cap off the spindle. Put a lump of clay on the stub. Put the bearing cap back on. Take the bearing cap off. Now see how thin the lump of clay is. See if you can find a shallower bearing cap that will allow the caps to seat.

Are the centers of your wheels concave or convex? I'm thinking concave.
