Front Axle Prevents Center Cap from Fitting

I have a 05 G35X. Just got aftermarket wheels put on, everything is great no rub and aligned out fine.

Specs:

Wheels:
19x9.5 +22 front and rear

Tires:
245/40/19

The problem is that the front axle on only the front two tires sticks out just a very small amount through the center of the wheel. This is preventing me from fitting the center cap and clicking it into place. The backs are perfect and the center caps fit without a hitch.

Here is a picture of what I am talking about

What are my options? I am hoping there are deeper center caps I can buy and if so were can they be found? If not, will I need to buy spacer?

Thank you!

What type of wheel do you have? You probably need a 'high'-type center cap. This is a common issue on our cars.

Varrstoen ES 2.2.2 (19") in the mirror silver finish

Any recommendations on where I can pick up a decent set?

All I can find are volk and work and advan. I'd like to get something that has no brand on it since these aren't real....
