Yes - your picture told me it was Mercedes Benz and for many years the standard centre cap size has been 75mm.
Have you tried taking a wheel off and checking that there isn't a part of the old cap stuck in there.
The old cap comes out easily if you push from the back of the wheel.
I suggest you try fitting the new cap with the wheel off.
I have exactly the same caps on my M-Benz Sprinter and they just snap into place. They need a good push though with the cap exactly in place - don't try pushing on one side.
The new caps should look like this:

Did u see there is very little gap to push the caps in place?0
-
Yes and it doesn't allow the clips of the caps to clip into place0

Your pic shows a front wheel hub.
It's so close I don't recognise the wheel style.
Are these genuine M-Benz wheels?
Have you tried fitting a cap to a rear wheel where there is no wheel bearing cover and therefore more space?
I would be taking a wheel off to check this thoroughly.0 -
I don't think they r the real merc alloys and that probably why the caps don't fit.
Yes there r caps on the back wheels.
Any ideas how to for the caps? Stick them on some way?0 -
Took wheel off clipped in cap tighten wheel cap pop off.
Can I remove wheel bearing cover?0
