Hubcap depth issues 16' steels on mechanical brake spindles

Hey all, what's everyone using for hubcaps on 16" steels when you put them on mechanical spindle drums. (yes i used the spacer from wires to steels) i have the rocky mountain drums on my 34'.
I found merc caps to be deeper than the 40-48 ford caps, any one else found others besides the chrome dome smoothies? spindle, bearings and caps are too deep to use 40's caps without modification.
