Yeah, it's a common problem. The 944 hubs in general were intended for the early offset wheels, and with the late offset wheels there isn't enough room for the dust caps. Typically, when I'm machining the hubs for beetle bearings I will trim the snout of the hub down to give the clearance. It depends on the wheel. Cup 1's, 2's fit well.
The other option is to forgo the 944 dust cap. Seal the wheel center cap with silicone tot he wheel, and glue a small piece of aluminum with a square hole to the back of the wheel cap for the speedo drive. I've done that on my bus for a 2 years now without issues. The wheel pilot seals very well onto the hub, so water and dust infiltration isn't an issue. I'll try and get a pic of the square drive...
