Looks good! Not a heck of lot different than my 255-70s, at least from that photo angle.
I had that stripped thread problem with an old set of Rallys. Seems like I went to one size larger screws. Or maybe I used nuts on the back??? Clever job there using copper wire.

I remember General, Firestone and Goodyear as tire brands on new vehicles back in the day.

Yes, I do remember a gotcha! Maybe a wire nut? I must have found some kind of solution, because I had to remove the wheel before removing the center cap.

Wire nut! That’s the solution I think.
Does anyone know the center cap hole thread size? I’ll order wire nut in that size.
