The caps do not come with the lettering, those are decals I had made.

I stand corrected. I couldn't recall and looked yours and assumed I had the same. Nice touch.

With a 4.5" BS there would be a definite interference. On the rear, there may be clearance issues as well.

The year-One wheels would need 1/2" spacers and also longer wheel studs. Not real expensive, just more work.

and something like this for a spacer.

Don't forget the controversy that goes with using spacers.
