After going from 7/16" spacers to 5/16 and replacing a wheel stud today I've finally got the new tire/wheel combo on. The front center caps would not work but a little engineering and velcro sure did the job, at least for a few months! Hehe! The tires are 245/45/17's. I wish I could have went a little bit taller but that would be an extra $45 a tire everywhere I looked..

P.S. That's not my oil stain in the pic, it's a Ford!

Yeah.. There was an adapter that snapped in and then the actual center cap just stuck to the adapter that pops into the wheel. So I cleaned the hub, applied the velcro to the hub and adapter, then stuck it in there. It sticks out maybe a 1/8" to a 1/4" but no one will ever notice it except for me or maybe another Ranger owner with Bullitts. The adapter is black and pretty shiny as you can see in the pic. It turned out alright! I'm going to try some thinner velcro to see if I can get it completely flush... Velcro rocks!:rockwoot:
