Default 2 mod questions: Morpar rear and Pro Comp

1. I'm having the rear Mopar bumper with provisions for the tire carrier installed. I don't have the tire carrier yet. Will the bumper have a hole in it? If so, is there a plastic cap for it?


2. I'm switching to Pro Comp rims which are non hub centric. Do I need hub centric rings, or do you guys just bolt on the Pro Comps and go?


Thanks in advance!

No plastic caps with big holes.

Im sure that you can find some kind of rubber plug that will fit in the hole. As for hub rings, I dont run them on my personal car. However, we do recomend them for customer vehicles. Im not sure what ring would be needed for those wheels, but they probably exist. You will be ok just bolting them on for now though

No actually JK Kat's pic IS of the Mopar bumper with the tire carrier option (thus that welded vertical post) I'll take a pic tomorrow (if ya still need it) of my set-up and a suggestion for what Kat's pic shows as a Jeep cut-out puking mud. Pretty simple really...I used some aluminum flashing (like around a roof vent for the bathroom), roughed it up with a wire brush, applied outdoor double stick carpet tape around the edges, and stuck it on the inside of the bumper. MUCH harder to describe than to do and cost is @ $000
