OK. I started bidding on them.

I tried putting on the Lincoln caps again. One of them actually fit pretty tight. The others didn't. Some of the caps have broken tabs but I know that isn't the reason they don't fit.

Hopefully I can win the caps you listed for a good price and that they fit. I would like to be done screwing around with these wheels.

Third time's a charm...they will fit.

[BTW, the spacer thing...waste of time]

wgotthardt,

Thanks a lot for your help. I appreciate it.

I've already forgotten about the spacer idea. I don't trust wheel spacers. Especially on a heavy 4x4 truck! Thats all I need is a wheel spacer failing while I'm towing my 5000lb boat. I'm sure that a wheel falling off while towing a boat at 70mph wouldn't cause any damage!!!

Great, about the only other thing I recommend is to simply check the torque on all lugnuts a couple weeks after initial install, but I rec that in all situations.

Good talking with you, nice wheels by the way, I've always liked that style.

Cheers.

The XTR would be a sorta cross between a Sport and an XLT. You get the nice wheels, woodgrain on the door panels, leather steering wheel (I think), painted Sport type grille etc.
I think they are a Canadian only edition.
