Swapping 7-series wheels for 5 series

Hello, I got a set of 7-series wheels to swap out for my 5 series.
Still, the middle cap isn't big enough.
Does anyone have any idea how to handle this?
Thank you

There isn't much you can do unless you mill the wheel or replace all of the hubs if the center is too small for your wheels.

There would also be an issue with the spacing of the wheel bolt holes. They won't work on your vehicle.

Screws fit snugly into the bolt hole. The center cap is all that is required.

The 68 mm center caps had a stud configuration of 5x 120 mm, and the 56 mm center caps had a stud configuration of 5x 112 mm, I was mistaken.
Buying the wrong size cap won't fix your problem if it's simply the center cap.
