Are there any “low profile” wheel bearing dust caps?

I’m trying to fit some center caps on the front wheels but the dust caps protrude a lot so not sure if there is an alternative. Let me know!

If you're going to cover them you could consider flatening the dust cap with a hammer. Not sure how far you can get with that, most axles protrude far enough that the cap doesn't leave much room under the cap. Pull a cap and check your axle length to see where you can go with it.

If you only need a few millimetres more to allow you to fit your low profile centre caps,
you could maybe get there with some slip-on wheel spacers. You may need to get some
longer wheel studs if you go that route.
