They need to be on the truck...they snap on pretty hardcore. There will be about a 3/8" gap between the rim and the center cap...but you wont notice that. I continue to run that set up.


You running the factory goldish colored lugs?

What were your factory wheels? I know the Fx4 and the 16" 5spokes lugs and wheels aren't meant to accept the centercap.

EDIT:

You DO NOT have the proper lugs for the factory center caps...

So I put my softs 8's on today those 32's are killing my gas but I guess thats why I bought the Civic... I went to Napa and got the lugs it came to like $24 after taxes for all 20 and from the dealership it would have been $5 a lug.
