Fitment guides, in depth — 49 and counting.
Every wrong center cap order traces back to the same handful of misunderstandings. These guides take one fitment question at a time — a measurement, a truck family, a generation split — and answer it with sourced numbers and the caliper check that confirms them on your own wheel.
By Brand
oemcentercaps.com guideAudi Center Cap Size — the 60 mm OE Cap (4B0601170)
Audi's documented OE cap is 60 mm under 4B0601170 — and the big SUVs live outside that family. Cars, numbers, and the exception.
BMW & Mini Center Cap Sizes — One Brand, Two Caps: 57 mm or 68 mm
BMW and Mini run two OE cap sizes split by wheel, not badge — 57 mm and 68 mm. Here's the 30-second caliper sort that tells you which family your wheel takes.
Mercedes-Benz Center Cap Size — the 74 mm OE Cap
One published OE size: 74 mm. What that number means, why the 66.6 mm hub bore is not a cap size, and why you still measure before ordering.
Volkswagen Center Cap Sizes — the 65 mm Cap, the 60 mm Golf, and a 56–66.5 mm Family
VW caps span 56–66.5 mm: the mainstream 65 mm (OEM 3B7601171), the Golf Mk7/Mk8's 60 mm, and the ID.3/ID.4's 66.5 mm. Generation and wheel decide — not the badge.
Porsche Center Cap Size — 76 mm OD, 3-inch ID (911, Macan, Cayenne)
A sports car, a compact SUV and a full-size SUV share one published cap family: 76 mm OD, 3 in ID. Plus the screw-on retention check to make before you order.
Volvo Center Cap Size — the 64 mm OE Cap
Volvo's documented OE cap is 64 mm. What that means at the wheel, and the one-minute check before you order.
Jaguar Center Cap Size — 59 mm OD, 50 mm Clip ID
S-Type, X-Type, XF, XJ and XK caps measure 59 mm across the face but only 50 mm across the clips. On this brand, the back of the cap is the fitment.
Land Rover & Range Rover Center Caps — 62 mm, and the 63 mm Variant 1 mm Away
The main family is 62 mm OD / 47.5 mm ID (RRJ000010) — but 63 mm variants are listed too. At a 1 mm gap, the caliper isn't a formality; it is the fitment.
oemcentercaps.com guideAlfa Romeo, Peugeot & Citroën Center Caps — One 60 mm OE Figure
Three European brands share one documented OE figure: 60 mm. What a shared size does and doesn't tell you — the back of the cap still decides.
Cadillac Center Caps — 83 mm Trucks, 67 mm Cars
The Escalade shares the 83 mm GM truck cap; the cars list a 2-5/8″ cap under OEM 23212548. Two worlds, one crest — which is yours?
Chevy Silverado & GMC Sierra Center Cap Size — the 83 mm OEM Caps
Silverado, Sierra, Tahoe, Yukon and Suburban trucks commonly run an 83 mm cap (OEM 22837060 / 20942002). Here's what that number means — and what it isn't.
Ford F-150 Center Caps by Generation — 3-inch Snap-In vs 180 mm Lug Cover
"F-150 center cap" is not one part. The 1997–2004 lug-cover caps and the 2012–2014 3-inch snap-ins share nothing but a truck name.
oemcentercaps.com guideDodge Charger & Challenger Center Caps — the 63 mm Cap (6CZ27RXFAA)
2017–2023 Charger and Challenger caps list at 63 mm. Plus the Dakota/Durango figure that is a bore, not a cap — the mix-up to avoid.
Jeep Center Cap Sizes — 63–64 mm and the 55 mm Versions
Many 2005+ Grand Cherokee, Wrangler and Compass wheels take a 63–64 mm cap from the 1LB77 family — but Liberty and older Grand Cherokees run a 55 mm version.
Tesla Center Cap Sizes — Three Published Answers, One Caliper
50.8 mm, 58 mm or 56 mm? Tesla's sources disagree in print by more than 7 mm. We print the conflict, name every source, and refuse to crown a winner the evidence hasn't earned.
Toyota Corolla Center Caps — 57 mm vs 62 mm Generation Split
Same badge, two caps: 2009–2013 Corollas commonly list a 57 mm cap; 2014+ Corollas and 2012+ Camrys list 62 mm. Generation decides.
oemcentercaps.com guideLexus Center Cap Size — 62 mm (OEM 42603-30590)
Lexus cars from 2006–2013 commonly list a 62 mm cap under a Toyota-family number. How to use the number — and when to measure instead.
Honda & Acura Center Caps — the 69 mm 44732 Family
Most 2000s–2010s Accord, Civic, CR-V and Odyssey wheels — and their Acura counterparts at 69 mm OD / 64 mm ID — run one big part-number family. Read the number, then measure.
Acura RDX Center Caps — the 44732 Family, and the Part Number That Isn't Published
The RDX runs the standard 44732-family cap across both generations — but no RDX-specific cap part number exists in any source we found. How to order with confidence anyway.
Nissan Center Cap Sizes — 54 mm Cars, 63 mm Trucks & SUVs
Two published families, 9 mm apart: 54 mm (40343-AU51A) for Rogue Sport and Quest, 63 mm (40342-6TA1A) for Frontier, Kicks, Leaf, Pathfinder and Rogue.
The Mazda Center Cap Argument — 56 mm Caps, a 64 mm Claim, and a 67.1 mm Bore
Three numbers circulate for the same Mazdas, and the loudest listing is the wrong one. We publish the whole dispute — OEM BBM2-37-190 evidence included — and our ruling.
Subaru Center Cap Size — 60 mm OD, 55 mm Clip ID
One tidy published spec — 60 mm face, 55 mm clips, OEM 28821SA030 / 28821VA000 — plus how to measure a worn cap whose clip tips have been shaved by winters.
oemcentercaps.com guideMitsubishi Center Cap Sizes — 60 mm Listed, Outlander Varies
Caps commonly list at 60 mm — but the Outlander is reported at 65–70 mm by year and wheel. Why this brand is measure-first in practice.
Hyundai & Kia Center Caps — Reading the 52960 Number Family
Both Korean brands file their caps under one pattern: 52960-xxxxx. How the family works — and the Elantra generation split that catches people.
Fitment Guides
Classic & Vintage Center Caps — Why Old Cars Are a Measure-First Game
Discontinued numbers, wheels swapped across decades, sizes cut in inches. For older cars the books run out — the caliper doesn't. The order that finds the cap anyway.
Center Bore vs Center Cap Diameter — the #1 Fitment Mistake
Your hub bore is 78.1 mm and your cap is 83 mm. Both numbers are real, both are correct — and confusing them is how wrong caps get ordered.
oemcentercaps.com guideBolt Pattern Is Not a Cap Size — PCD, Hub Bore and Cap Diameter, Untangled
5x114.3, 87.1 mm, 83 mm — three numbers, three different parts. The table that keeps them straight, and why only one of them orders a cap.
oemcentercaps.com guideHub-Centric Rings vs Center Caps — Two Parts, One Hole, Endless Confusion
Rings center the wheel; caps cover the hole. Both are measured in millimetres — and ordering one when you need the other is a steady source of returns.
How to Read the Part Number Molded on the Back of Your Center Cap
The fastest fitment tool you own is already molded into your cap. What the number families look like across a dozen brands — and how a number plus a caliper ends every fitment argument.
Snap-In, Spring Ring, Screw-On, Push-Through, Lug-Cover — Retention Styles Compared
Diameter is only half a fitment. The five ways a cap is held on decide whether it installs, stays, and survives — and how to identify yours from the back of the cap.
oemcentercaps.com guideLug-Cover Caps Explained — the Big Caps That Hide Your Lug Nuts
Some caps span the whole lug pattern — up to 180 mm and beyond. How they're held on, which trucks run them, and how not to buy a snap-in by mistake.
oemcentercaps.com guideClip Depth Explained — the Third Measurement Nobody Takes
OD gets the listing title, clip ID gets the fitment — but depth decides whether the cap seats flush, locks, or bottoms out on the axle nut.
oemcentercaps.com guideCenter Cap Sizes in Inches vs Millimetres — the Conversion Traps
Listings love inches: 2.5″, 3″, 3.25″. The conversions that matter, the rounding that lies, and why a '2.5-inch Jeep cap' is two different numbers.
The Measure-First Brands — Buick, Chrysler, Lincoln, Infiniti, Genesis, Fiat
Some brands have no honestly sourced cap size, so we publish none. The full measuring routine that replaces the chart.
oemcentercaps.com guideWhat a Center Cap Should Cost — Dealer, Aftermarket and Marketplace, Honestly
Dealer caps are cited at $35–$50 each; used OEM undercuts everyone. The honest price picture by channel — and where the money gets wasted.
How-To & Care

The three measurements that decide whether a cap fits — and the 7-step caliper method that settles any fitment question in about a minute.
oemcentercaps.com guideHow to Remove a Center Cap Without Scratching the Wheel
Trim tool, cloth-wrapped flathead, or a push from behind — the three safe removals, the pry points that chip paint, and the spring-ring trap.
oemcentercaps.com guideHow to Install a Center Cap So It Stays
Alignment, palm pressure, the tug test — and the leftover spring ring that defeats more installs than any wrong size.

The back of an OEM cap is a spec sheet: part number, clip layout, depth. Why a photo of the back is worth more than a photo of the front.
Buying Used OEM Center Caps — the Checks That Separate a Bargain From a Rattle
Dealer-new runs $35–$50 a cap and up. Used OEM is the smart money — if you check the part number, the clips, and both diameters, in that order.
oemcentercaps.com guideCleaning, Polishing and Storing Center Caps — the Care Routine
Soap before solvents, plastic polish before chrome polish, and a labelled bag before the parts shelf. Care by material, plus the clip inspection.
oemcentercaps.com guideCenter Cap Materials — ABS, Aluminum, Stainless and Chrome-Plated, Compared
What each cap material does well, how each one dies, and why the salt belt has a favourite.

Salt eats cheap chrome and brittle plastic first. Which materials survive — quality ABS and coated metal — plus the fall, mid-season and spring routines that bring all four caps through.
Center Caps for Steel Winter Wheels — What Fits, What Doesn't, What to Measure
Your summer caps probably don't fit your steelies — and many steel wheels were never meant to take a cap at all. The measure-first approach for the winter set.

Three categories share one aisle and cause a steady traffic of wrong orders. What each product is, how each is sized, and how to order the one you actually lost.
Troubleshooting
Lost Your Center Cap With No Spare? Measure the Wheel Opening Instead
The cap is gone, but the wheel kept the measurement. How to measure the center opening directly, what to write down, and how to shop by clip diameter when there's nothing left to pop off.
Why Your Center Cap Fell Off — the 1 mm Rule, Tired Clips, and Other Usual Suspects
Caps don't fall off at random. The causes are a short, diagnosable list: a 1 mm size miss, worn clips, wrong depth, or a refit that never seated. Here's how to tell which one got yours.
