What is this piece

[TinyTim93]

I've got some 18" TSW Nurburgrings left from my previous car that are a direct bolt on for my '15. However there is a black piece at the end of the hub that prevents my center cap from going on. Would it be possible to take this piece off without affecting anything? Or could the use of wheel spacers give me enough room to clear it? See picture below
Thanks!

I had to get deeper center caps to fit my Forgestar's over the hubs. I'd bet TSW can sell you deeper caps as well.

Front spindle nut dust cap....or bearing cap. Supposed to keep dust out of the bearings to prevent premature wear/failure.

Grease cap, its a issue that some of these wheels are having based on design and concavity. I think tsw has a high raised cap that may work.

Depending on how much room you need, I have seen people dent that dust/grease cap

Ya some people have done that by slightly hammering it in, doesnt cause any issues or damage.
