I bought a *****in set of new 20'' wheels , the problem is that the hubs will not sit behind the center caps . I am thinking of making full time caps so I can use my new wheels while still maintaining the cool factor.
Any idea's . I have a full metal shop so making these should not be a problem.

Convert to 2wd.

Sorry man this is not a good idea. The sploder just isnt built to be this way. You can drive around with locked hubs but not in 4 some but it will cause damage over time. especialy to the front diff. Why not just get some type of grease cap made, do a manual hub conversion but leave the hubs themselves off unless you want to have 4wd. Then yank the center caps and put the hubs on inplace of the grease caps.

Oh yeah I almost forgot, before you guy's flame me for doing this lowrider stuff to a 4x4 . I should let you know that I do have a pritty *****in 4x4 as well . the explorer is just a car audio vehical. I have an 82 toyota shortbed 4x4 with a vortech 350, rolling on 35'' ssr's

Then it will be that much more appealing to some looking for a Dana 35 TTB. Possibly for a 4wd swap.

This would work . I just doen't want to half ass anything. I was orriginally going to build this rig as a 4x4/ prerunner , but the paint job ended up getting way out of control , and expensive so I desided to make it a street cruiser.
