So im gonna be purchasing a set of 20x9 SRT-10 repros in the spring. Getting the black ones, wrapping in nitto 420s. Anyways, ive been told that i need a different grease caps on the front to fit these wheels since mine is a 99. ive looked around and cant even find stock ones let alone lower profile ones. but i believe on 2001 trucks they have a grease cap that will work. so can someone try and link me to 2001 grease caps or lower profile ones? itd be much appreciated! :roflsquared:

2001 has no grease caps, they are unit bearings. best bet is spacers.

If a guy needed to do a hub anyways, could he upgrade to a 2001 hub and not have to worry about it? I'm just curious

I doubt it. Might be possible with a spindle change.. but I still doubt it.

i dont think the front spindles will interchange, without a buttload more stuff being swapped as well.

i was thinking about doing 1 or 1.5 inch spacers anyways. so the spacers will take care of the problem? thats great!

I have a spare set of grease caps. I'll see if I can turn them down a bit in my machine at work Monday. I'll let you know how they turn out.

As I said, I put the spare grease caps in my machine this morning, and took about 3/8's of an inch off of them. They came out looking pretty damn good, but I can't get them to stay on the hub.
