Hub Cap for 8" wheel

[mabeline]

I've seen a few different ideas for hub caps on 8" wheels. Don't know if anybody has tried this. I had a front hub cap from my semi kicking around, it measures 8 3/4" same as the outside lip of 8" wheel. There's a small gap between the wheel and the cap about an 1/8" but it's really hard to pull back off. Can't give it the acid run right now( few to many icy patches).

that really dresses it up, I hope it works well.

The hub cap was only $12.75 so I ain't losing much if it won't stay on. Spent my money on dumber things. I think the tabs are a little long, I might try grinding them down a bit. I was going to try the golf cart caps but read here somewhere that the hub sticks out to far.

Go to golf cart store the local one here in Joplin several differen't styles in stock. Or can order out of their catalog. large selection there

and get a white pen stick and paint the lettering on the wheels white, Like raised white lettering, Makes the tires stand out

I tried the ones from the cart store but they didn't come out far enough to clear the hub.

Pretty much any truck stop or truck dealer ( peterbilt, freightliner ) should have them.

Probably cheaper on your side of the 49th too. Bring along a measuring tape I think there are a few different sizes. 8 3/4" to the tabs.
