Help with steelies + Tercel center caps

So I bent my passenger side wheels in January and am just now getting it rectified. I have a new set of Michelins, two new OEM Toyota wheels and a set of the black TOYOTA center caps.

They fit fine on the front axle but due to the shape of the inside of the rear hubs -- it is kind of rounded/flared -- the prongs and clips will not go all the way down and let the cap snap on.

Any suggestions?

Rear hub:


Center cap back side:


Fronts look great:


Only the fanciest German-made Michelins go on my Yaris (other person's insurance is paying for them, these are H-rated Michelin Energy summer tires that normally come on the base Mini)

Anybody? I am wondering if it is because the 2012+ uses 5" wide wheels instead of 5.5-inchers.

Any other options fit the '12+?
