ABSTRACT:
A wheel and cover assembly for an automotive vehicle is provided which includes standoff ribs formed on the laterally inner side of a wheel cover which have a free end that includes a curved surface, which may be formed as a radius tangent to the adjacent wheel surface, for accommodating manufacturing tolerances which result in variance in lateral spacing between the wheel cover and the wheel when the wheel cover is mechanically secured to the wheel.
