960 wheels OK on 240 but center caps do not fit 200 1993

This weekend I insalled "turbine vane" wheels from a 93' 960 wagon (15", 6" wide with 195/65/15 tires) on my 93' 240 (14", 5.5 wide with 195/65/14 tires). 960 wheels with tires fit fine and look fine, but the issue is that the stock 960 center caps do not clear the wheel bearing hub grease covers of the front wheels.

Any help would be appreciated in finding center caps that fit. I don't mind if the caps only cover the hub (I like the lug nuts exposed as they and the studs are shiney new).

I tried newer model 2.5" wide black center caps (many newer Volvos have these, incl 850 models), but there is not enough clearance for the hubs so they don't work; they are not deep enough for the locking tabs to reach the wheel). I'm looking for guidance on finding center caps that are deeper.

Regards,
Schwaco
