Well I just got my 20" rockstars on with 35" nitto terra graplers and everything looks great. But the center caps stick out about 2" from being flush?? Are they like that or did they send the wrong center caps?
Thanks,
Bill

No those are the correct center caps for those wheels. Other people have had to shave the plastic stands down and trim the mounting bolts. I have no idea why they make the center caps stick so far out. I have the XD monsters on my H2 and i just left my center caps off and painted the center of the hub flat black with rustoleum. This is not the greatest pic but this is the only one that i have with a pic of my wheels with the center cap off.

Yes, teh stupid center caps do stick way out. I don;t know why, but they do. I cut 1.25" off mine and they fit close. I than had to cut down the bolts too. Make sur eyou spin a ut on teh bolt first. That way after you cut it, you can just spin the nut off and you won;t have to worry about the threads on that bolt messing up your threaded hole on the rim.
Also, you may wnat to pull your tires back off and paint up those hubs. rattle can them with a rust-o spray paint. That will clean the look up quite a bit.
post up some better pics when it's lighter out. That truck looks nice. what did you put on for tires?

Thanks for the idea to modify the center caps. I was thinking the same thing but was just a little gun shy incase they sent me the wrong center caps..
Here is a before and after..
