Your center caps look good on those wheels Rian! Once they are mounted I think you will have a super looking combo on the truck. I like the taller tires myself.

I am a fan of comfort, and low profile tyres can be pretty uncomfortable Ready or not......... 07.00 this morning I was out there, the night had been long, waiting to get up and test fit. Couple of things became apparent, brakes have not worked for a while, pushing and pulling the truck around on the driveway. Also, top and bottom control arms need to be serviced and greased, just like my 1966 C10 grease nipples everywhere. And the turning circle may be impaired by wheels that are too wide, compared to OEM fitment rubber. Then, on to the front and rear hubs. Fronts now show why we have those huge Mexican hats as centre caps. Needs around 60-70mm tall caps/cups up front, there is also space for a spigot ring, or for the cups to become captive from behind. Maybe a spigot ring is not needed, but the wheel is sitting nice and loose. Rears fit tight enough that it needed to be whacked to remove after the test fit. So some flat cap will work here. The truck also came with locking wheel nuts, something I dislike intensely, and I did not get the socket that unlocks it when I bought it. Thankfully I managed to get both loose, one was quite loose, possibly finger tight. So getting decent new nuts makes sense
