Help please!!!

I have a g37 sedan & some cv1 installed. I can't put in the vossen cap in the back because the disc have something sticking out so I can't put it. My options are buying spacers. I have some at home that are 1/2 which don't fit. So my question is which is skinnier 1/2 or 3mm? Sorry for this dumb question. & thanks in advanced.

What size wheels do you have? If they are 19" or below you need the big base center caps. If 20" or above you need the small base center caps. Check to make sure you have the correct base sise center caps for your wheels.

That is a fairly common problem, not as common w/ Vossens but it does happen. A 1/2" spacer is aprox. 13mm, so about 10mm more than that thin 3mm spacer. Might want to do a test fit w/ some w/ some stacked washers on 3 of the lugs and just snug the wheels down and see how many washers you'd need to get that center cap to snap down properly then order the proper thickness spacer.
I think 3mm is about the thinnest spacer FWIW.

I know those red lugs and the painted calipers against those Vossens are looking good. Cap or not cap

Very nice fit. What's the specs on your wheels and what spacers did you go with? I'm a little worried that my rears are going to protrude more than I'd like. They are 20x10.5 +38 +20mm spacer. Anybody think that's gonna be a problem?

I actually don't hate the wide stance look, but tbh I was shooting for a flushed out clean as$ wheels n tires setup this time. We will have to wait until Wed or Thurs to find out for certain.

If you don't put a spacer on the cv1 like mine the vossen cap won't go in
