Man, it's bad enough that we deal with difficult offsets on our 100s. Then there is that damn dust cap! I lived with it long enough! I came up with a $10.00 fix that finally took care of it.

Before:

After:

I picked up the badges that are 65mm off amazon for $10 and used some clear silicone to stick them on. The badges are domed so the adhesive would likely not hold them to the flat wheel cap. I tapped down the dust cap a very little bit for clearance. Fit is great and the dreaded hundy nipples are gone.

I would have a problem deciding. I like the simple five star look and 4 cleaning it's simple. Toyota makes the wheels on my rig as an upgrade accessory and wanted something you don't see that often. The lower platinum wheel Iooks good on the 100 too. Seems to be more fitting with the lines on the 100. Either one you can shove a 305 55 20 on there.
 
Nice work. I just pounded down my dust caps and shaved the back of the center cap until it fit. The Toyota emblems un-clip right off. Local Lexus dealer gave me four self adhesive Lexus emblems for free.

If you could share a full photo of your ride on the 305/55/20 I would appreciate it.
 
Did the same sort of mod, cut the clearance hole but then used the 3D printer to print new offset discs.

Embarrassingly, first time I did that I printed a volleyball logo as high school daughter was using it as a daily and that was her life then. Just printed new ones as she is older and wiser and she now has Skyrim logo caps :)
