2wd Alcoa front hub caps on rear wheels with 2inch spacers

So I was wondering if the more slim (not as tall) 2wd front hub caps would fit on my rear wheels since I'm 2 inch spacers on the rear and the hub of the axle is further in. I'm not sure if there would be enough room or not to clear the hub. I think it would look a little bit better than the large hub cap that is suppose to be on the rear. If anyone has a picture that would be great. Thanks

Hmmm that's an awesome idea. When I mocked mine up I think I remember it being obviously much less. I may look into it tonight. Great call!!

Yeah I think it would look a lot cleaner and have a more sleek look

So I took off my from cap and pulled off the rear and the front does fit and is snug and shouldn't come off. The cap touchs just a little but I think should be ok.

So where can I find the Blue Oval hub caps for my 95 DRW RWD. I need one front and one rear.
Thanks for the assistance,

So here's the deal, I don't run center caps, even though I should because I was pulled over and got an "indecent exposure " ticket, the cop said I was running around with my nuts exposed.
. Anyway I had them on the shelf and I went to get them for you and they was gone. I forgot that I gave them to another buddy but he said he wasn' going to use them . I'l get them in the mail maybe tomorrow. Mine are dually style if that makes a difference

I bought a set of cheap plain 2wd drive hub caps off eBay. The nice thing about them is that they shouldn't go flying off like the regular rear caps do if there not on there tight enough since these one have the prongs that hold onto the wheel. Here's a few pictures of what they look like.

I just talked to my buddy and I'm supposed to get those caps tomorrow, I'll try to get the ole lady to mail them out. He and I work different shifts and tonight we ended up on the same one so that' what took so long

Thumbs up

Are the SRW and DRW front caps the same? Both 2x4?

Nice, what color is your truck? I am looking to paint a gray stripe on mine. That looks to be about the shade I am looking for
