    They may only fit a Cadillac wheel.

    Not sure why you are having problems - they fit the 15x6 wheels on my car just fine. If you are running 15x5 originals they probably aren't deep enough to fully seat the wheel cover.

    Added detail: my wheels are 1970s Monte Carlo and 1980s Chevy Caprice wheels. No idea why that might matter...

    I had a similar problem with Caddy Sombrero caps on my '51 Ford. They wouldn't seat all the way on the rim because the center was hitting the spindle dust cap. Removed the dust cap and it was just enough to get them to fit

    Also, I hate to state the obvious, but have you taken some pliers and re-bent the "grips" on the hubcap to get a tighter fit on the rim?

    I had 70's Monte Carlo rally wheels on my '63 wagon with '54-'55 Caddy caps. Fit perfectly.

    No, those are 1954-55 Caddy hubcaps. 64 in the post is a typo
