4x4 steelie rims on all 4 of lowered truck

Using 4X4 Truck (6 Lug) rims and for my rims. I believe they (4) are 15x8. My question is will these work up front (the 15x8)? I have searched to see if anyone has done this and found nothing directly stating this has been done. I am painting them this weekend and want to make sure they will work. (front disc conversion going on with 2.5" drop spindles)
Also, suggestions for center caps? I have the 4 from the 4x4. The only issue is two of them have holes for the manual front end locks, so I picked up two other closed ones, so now I have 4, but is there another choice? I bought some moons with bowtie on them, but they will not fit.
Thanks for any help.

I think people have used vw hubcap wheel clips for using a rally wheel car center cap/baby moon on wheels that don't except them. Trevor

They work where ever an 8" rallye works. I use them with drop spindles.

Re: 4x4 steelie rims on all 4 of lowered truck

Im pretty sure I have the wheels you're talking about on mine......and yes, they work well. I had stock 1/2 ton hubcaps on them when I got them.

Before the drop spindles and disc brakes....(4 wheel drums)

After the drop spindles and disc brakes...(4 wheel discs)


I have more pictures of wheel fitment in my build thread.

i put my blazer 15X8 rallies on my truck after i installed my mcgaughy drop spindles and 6 lug rotors. they fit and i could turn no problem but the inside lip was pretty damn close to the steering end link and at full turn was kinda close to the lca. but theyll work no problem.
