The clips need to be straightened out a bit to get them closer to the rim. A few light blows from a hammer did the trick. I installed the clips flush against the edge on the ramped up area. Hubcap snapped on firmly. I believe the weakest link is the screws, it’s hard to get them to stay tight. I would like to do a hot rivet, just like the way the clip type wheels were manufactured.

Did you try to use a steel self locking nuts? What size screws are you using?
