Wow, never thought of that....
No, the problem is that everytime I have purchased them they dont fit, and I have been buying guaranteed fittment rims. Some places said they will fit the go on but the cap dont fit, then call and saying just run with out the cap the factory grease dust cap. (not good idea) Another was a full suspension swap with a e-150 but i dont understand wat the difference is between the two cause no one seems to know. I have seen rims online that fit these trucks but no one seems to want to reveal there secret or something or they acutally not fitting

Before you buy wheels you should know what the stock offset/backspacing was originally and try to match that positioning of the wheel mounting with whatever new wheel you're looking at. If the new wheel is wider than stock you'll need to account for that in the backspacing. After you've found a wheel with backspacing/offset that'll work you have to match the hub bore on the new wheel with your hub/spindle O.D. Measure the hub/spindle diameter and find a wheel that hugs that tightly.
If you're worried about the hub protruding past the wheel, we'll you're kinda screwed there, at least on a 4x4, not sure of the 2x4 trucks.

He's seems to be talking about the front wheels on a 2x4 since he said dust cap and swap with a E150. I think his problem is that the cover for the lug nuts wont fit over with the dust cap from the axle nut protruding out. I'm sure there is no problem on the rears since nothing sticks out past the lugs.
How much clearance do you need? How much further does the dust cap stick past the lugs?
Could ya just flatten the nose of the dust cap a little and still clear the axle nut?

The entire end of the hub. um how do i explain this the hubs are over sized compared to a couple years newer. Then they also stick out about 2" on the ones that will actually fit but then there is no way to put the covers or caps on and looks absolutely ****ty. The only thing that would be able to fit is about a 15" old aluminum rock crawling looking im and it wont go with wat im set up for.

Check these out, looks like they have a center cap that would clear. And about the same price as XD's except these have tires included

And I'm pretty sure you could spend hours on that site looking at wheels...

the truck above doesnt have springs, it has air bags and as far as rims for our trucks go you have to bore out the center to clear the rims. The guy with the truck pictured above explained it to me. He had to send the rims back to the manufacturer to have them bored.
