I just bought a set of 3rd gen wheels (the split Y design) and put them on my 2nd gen runner. The only problem is that I can't fit the center caps on the front rims. The bearing caps stick out too far. Has anyone swapped rims like this before and is there a solution? I've thought about wheel spacers but don't know if that will take care of it...Thanks in advance...

 

use the search my friend. Ive read same thing before and i think they trimmed part of the center caps to fit.

 

I put locking hubs on mine and cut the centers of the front caps out.

 

ditto, except i went out and bought the acutal center caps for the locking hubs. if you already have the caps, just cut em. unfortunately, they're the caps aren't on the truck in my sig pic

 

Thanks guys...

 

Also...will wheel spacers fix this problem?

 

Likely. Depends on how thick of a spacer is used.
