15mm Center Cap Riser for VCAP1 – Gloss Black
$19.95
The Cap Riser by Valor Offroad give you an additional 15 mm of clearance for vehicles with larger/longer hubs.
Description
Overview
When upgrading your ATV or side-by-side (SxS) with high-performance aftermarket wheels, a common hurdle during installation is hub clearance. Standard wheel center caps sit flush with the wheel face, but many popular off-road vehicles feature protruding front or rear axle hubs that push against the cap, making it impossible to bolt down securely. The 15mm Center Cap Riser for VCAP1 in Gloss Black solves this exact problem by acting as an extension block for your existing setup.
Produced by industry-leader Valor Offroad, this spacer works in conjunction with your factory VCAP1 wheel center caps, shifting them outward to provide an additional $15\text{ mm}$ of crucial hub clearance. It belongs to the exterior trim and wheel accessories portion of your ATV Drive Train Parts, protecting vital axle components from dust, mud, water, and trail debris without forcing you to buy entirely new, oversized center caps. Finished in a brilliant, mirror-like gloss black, this riser bridges the gap between rugged functionality and pristine custom styling.

Benefits
Enhanced Axle & Hub Clearance
Many utility quad and UTV axle shafts—especially those upgraded with heavy-duty aftermarket CV axles—protrude past the wheel mounting surface. This riser provides the physical offset necessary to mount your wheel center caps over these extended shafts safely.
Aesthetic Consistency
Instead of leaving your front or rear axle nuts exposed to view and rust, this spacer allows you to maintain a clean, finished appearance. The gloss black finish coordinates seamlessly with gloss paint or polished alloy wheel spoke windows.
Cost-Effective Modular Design
Instead of discarding your low-profile shorty caps and purchasing expensive, oversized custom caps, the riser is a budget-friendly modular solution that alters your existing layout in minutes.
Product Specifications
Vehicle Compatibility
While the wheel brand dictates center cap fitment, specific off-road vehicle models with exceptionally long hub assemblies require this riser when running Valor Offroad V01-V08 wheels. It is recommended for the following makes and models:
-
Polaris: Sportsman 570 (All models), Ranger (Various models)
-
Can-Am: Defender (HD8, HD10, HD11 models)
-
Kawasaki: Teryx KRX 1000
-
Yamaha: Viking, Wolverine (All utility iterations)
Note: This riser must be used in conjunction with your original VCAP1 cap and will not fit wheels outside the Valor V01-V08 range.
Installation Guide
Installing the center cap riser requires minimal mechanical experience and can be done in under 5 minutes per wheel.
Tools Required:
-
Metric Hex / Allen Key (2.5mm or 3mm depending on cap screw)
Signs This Part Needs Replacement
-
Cracks from Trail Impacts: Rocks or trail debris kicked up by your tires can strike the side of the riser, causing fractures.
-
Stripped Mounting Holes: Repeatedly removing and installing center caps can wear down or strip out the mounting channels.
-
Faded or Scratched Finish: Rough off-road cleaning or tree branch scratches can dull the gloss black appearance over time.
-
Loose Center Cap: If the riser is warped or damaged, the cap will begin to rattle, indicating it is no longer sealing off your axle hub.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does this product include the center cap itself?
No. This product includes only the 15mm spacer ring and the extended screws. You must reuse the VCAP1 center cap that came with your Valor Offroad wheels.
Will this work with any other brand of wheels?
No, this spacer is engineered specifically to mate with the unique geometry of the Valor Offroad VCAP1 center cap and fits their V01-V08 series of wheels only.
Why do I need a center cap riser?
Certain models of ATVs and UTVs (such as the Polaris Sportsman 570 or Can-Am Defender) have longer axle hub stubs that stick out past the wheel. This spacer gives you the extra clearance needed so the cap doesn’t hit the axle nut.
Are the mounting bolts included?
Yes, each riser unit comes with two (2) M4x33mm extended steel bolts to replace your shorter original mounting screws.
Can I run these on my sport quad?
This riser is compatible if you are running sport-specific bolt patterns using Valor Offroad V01-V08 wheels. However, they are most commonly required on utility-focused ATVs and UTVs.
Is this sold as a single unit or a set of four?
These risers are sold individually (1 per pack). If you need clearance on all four wheels, please adjust your cart quantity to 4.
What is the difference between this and a tall center cap?
A tall cap is a single-piece tall replacement. This riser is a modular spacer that allows you to keep the low-profile “shorty” cap style while gaining an adjustable amount of clearance.
Is the gloss black finish UV resistant?
Yes, the composite material and gloss finish are designed to withstand sun exposure, salt, and muddy water without quickly fading or turning yellow.
