Yea I got that. But do you know if they make center caps that look similar shape as factory? I'm having trouble finding some since I have to have the hollow on the front with my manual hubs

You can drill and tap threads in the three holes for the factory caps on any aftermarket rim that they will fit flat on, you may need to use different screws, bolts actually. They do it alot around here.

umm yeah.. like hell if you're at stock height.. my 32/11.50s rub the raduis arm at full crank. so, the 35s are a dumb idea at stock height.

now, i understand you didn't say if you had a lift or not. so i'm just assuming on the given information..
