That dust cap is what keeps the dirt,dust, crud and water out of your wheel bearings...you really might want to have it. Better off to find a set of rims with the proper offset for your application. Also, bear in mind that adding spacers will leave you with less lug bolt actually threaded into the hub, which could result in losing a complete wheel while tooling down the road.

But hey, it is your car.
