If you put the alloy H2 wheels on our trucks, do you or should you need to paint the stock center caps to match. Will it look bad if the are left the way they are? Thanks

I didn't paint mine, but some people do.

Cheyenne, does rubbing become more of an issue with the wider H2's. 285/70/17s would cause how much of a problem? Would a little trimming and/or tie backs solve it? Thanks

Looks fine left as is, at least to me.

We had to do some trimming with the fender liners, as well as a small bit of metal off the body (there's a ridge/seam on the backside of the fender liner behind each front wheel that will need to be clearanced for normal driving)

Yes rubbing is more of an issue, but it's not bad and it's easy to fix. My tires clear fine. The backsapcing of the h2 is tough to beat

You can get gray center caps that come with the work trucks. Color is close, but not an exact match.
