Trying to find flat brake dust caps

I got some new wheels and the front center caps wont go on because of the dust caps. Does anyone know if there's a company out there that sells a flat dust cap for our trucks? I forget how far out the spindle goes and if a flat cap will even work. I'm trying to avoid using hub rings because I do a bit of road racing.

Thanks

Dust Caps

I had the same problem when I purchased my Forgeline wheels. The front spindles stick out about 11/2 inches.I had to send the wheels back and they machined them to fit a raised center cap. Check with the wheel maker and see if you can interchange the center caps. I think that the size of wheel spacers you will need will create a safety issue.
ps: I believe that the front spindles were flat after the 01 model year. I thought about upgrading to newer spindles ( I have a 99) but the mechanics said there was a whole lot of other changes you need to make and it became very cost prohibitive.
