On all the ones I have seen you have to remove the wheel first.

Well that’s the problem, even a thin wall socket will not fit on the lug with the cap still in place.

Might have to contact the manufacturer of the wheels. They make a special socket that clears the cap. Or, maybe order something like this in the correct size: https://www.amazon.com/Sunex-284921-.../dp/B006L23AOY

Metal center caps have a lip on the end so you can't pull them out from the outside. Most all plastic center caps can be pull straight out if in a jam from the outside. Is your metal or plastic?

Sometimes a spark plug socket will work
