Default Wheel Adapters & Caliper Covers

Well after a few hours and some cold wobbly pops the job is done.
Painted the hubs black along with the spacers and installed the caliper covers. Also added the Gorilla Wheel Locks in black which makes the wheels look way better.

Tires don't rub on the upper control arm any longer and these spacers are 2 inches wide so the tires look perfect with the fender flares now.
Tires did slightly rub the front lower plastic piece and the back part of the inner fender flare. Not that Big of a deal as I just trimmed back those pieces.

here a few before and after pic's

Hope your all enjoying the weekend !!

That looks great! I was thinking of painting my calipers, didn't know they made covers.

Your truck looks great! I'm considering putting 1.5 wheel adapters on my 09 fx4. Do you notice any difference in ride quality with the wheel adapters on?

Your rotor looks damaged. Or is that normal? I don't know, I haven't seen the rotors up close on my truck.

Good call......bad masking.
Hope those ALUMINUM spacers have steel inserts on the rear for the studs.
