Rick 03-11-2003, 07:08 PM If you want you can get caps which will fill the hole. redShift 03-11-2003, 07:18 PM Your X just keeps getting better. You have the same great taste I do. :cool: Alec 03-11-2003, 08:15 PM I tried to get the centercaps when I got mine and they didn't really fit because of the size of Explorer hubs and axles. Limited Ex 03-11-2003, 08:16 PM Congrats David! I see that you opted for the wheel weights on the inside! Looking good man :eek: Rick 03-11-2003, 08:18 PM I used to have center caps in my black steel wheels. Digger196 03-11-2003, 08:43 PM Rick, do you still have them? Digger196 03-11-2003, 08:51 PM Caleb, your ELITE! These wheels are Limited Ex old wheels. XplorerKid 03-11-2003, 08:54 PM huh ??? did some one say my name i didnt sell u those i want to buy some tho LOL Just Messin with ya;) PEACE Limited Ex 03-11-2003, 09:17 PM Thar aint room 'nuff fer both of us on this forum....... lol :confused: dejello 03-11-2003, 09:26 PM Well, Limited Caleb was here first.. so off you go kid :D rpenner54 03-12-2003, 11:13 AM I used to have center caps. Then they looked stupid so I yanked them and used some good old Black spray paint. :) Made it look a lot better then that chrome stuff! taxx 03-12-2003, 11:28 AM Problem with center caps is the break easy off roading. If you want something use the stock X snap on ones and pop them on and off whether you are on road or off. I think That is whatI am going to do depending on how they look. Oh no I'm not changing bolt pattern silly me, but hey its a good idea for you. Limited Ex 03-12-2003, 06:48 PM j/k :D Digger196 03-12-2003, 06:53 PM well i went with spray painting it black. cheap and easy to do. here's how it looks: eXplorerchic 03-13-2003, 01:08 AM Nice! I like....Digger are those 32's that you had on the stock rims just fit with only the TT/Shackels done? I'm deciding on tires and rims....may just get some tires for my stock rims....are those you had on your stock rims 265/75R16's? Digger196 03-13-2003, 01:43 AM i had the 32's on the stock rims and now they are on the rock crawlers. i just have the TT/Shackles/AAl done. eXplorerchic 03-13-2003, 01:54 AM ahh so you had 15" stock rims...mine are 16" I'm just wondering what size to get to fit on my stock rims....all i'll have is the TT/Shackel mod too. I was just wondering if that size 265/75/R16 was = to 32's. Did you have to trim anything with the 32's? Digger196 03-13-2003, 01:59 AM a little with them on the stock rims but with the rock crawlers i'm having todo alot more b/c there an inch wider then the stock rims. oh well, only plastic hvac man 03-13-2003, 02:36 AM Hey eXchic, 265-75-16 is the equivalent to 32-10.5-15 eXplorerchic 03-13-2003, 02:58 AM Thanks for the info hvac...looks like i'm going to try those on my stocker rims....and hope after the TT and shackels they fit, but if Digger and others didnt have much trouble, should be ok going to get these in that size....think that will look good? (hehe sorry Digger didnt mean to interupt your post) :D ;) http://www.4wheelparts.com/images/pctmud.gif Ryan1 03-13-2003, 03:23 AM Digger, get some crome center caps. I just had my rockcrawlers put on and they have the crome center caps, which I thougt might look kinda weird...but it looks great. I can take pics if you need. Ryan Digger196 03-13-2003, 06:47 AM i already paionted it black and eXplorerchic - hop[e you like to trim. section 252 had to do alot but i had to do a little. depends on the X. good luck section525 03-13-2003, 07:02 AM section 252 who tf is that?! :D I was also 2wd with a bent frame when I had to hack metal. I was only rubbing on one side because the body was skewed to one side so bad. Chic- the Sport fender flares might give you a little more trouble with the 32s. But cutting plastic is okay. Its the metal cutting that sux. Digger196 03-13-2003, 05:04 PM sorry kontinu1 03-13-2003, 08:33 PM rock crawlers are fresh mine came with crome center capshttp://www.imagestation.com/picture/sraid55/p7c7e81ae433994df56540870b41df4dc/fc82520d.jpg Yomie 03-14-2003, 08:24 AM For you rock crawler people that don't like the chrome, and are having to suffer through chrome lug nuts, i found some black ones that i ordered through auto zone last night. They are made by Gorilla Go to page 8 (PDF format) http://www.gorilla-auto.com/pdfs/part1.pdf Alec 03-14-2003, 01:15 PM Mine is pretty much all black but with chrome lugs. I think the lugs break the black up just enough. Johnstone 03-14-2003, 01:54 PM Originally posted by Yomie i found some black ones that i ordered through auto zone last night. When I originally got my black wheels, I wanted some red lug nuts but couldn't find any. If I do find some, I'm not gonna buy them if they are expensive. How much did those black Gorilla ones cost ya? Yomie 03-14-2003, 02:00 PM Gorilla has red ones too, look through that cataloge. I haven't paid for them yet. A friend of mine works at Tires Plus (the friend that found them) and ordered them through the store, i will not get a discount, so when i do pick them up i will let you know! james t 03-15-2003, 03:03 AM Originally posted by section525 But cutting plastic is okay. Its the metal cutting that sux. i have a sawzall that doesnt know the difference. ;) |
