Could someone help me get some center caps that fit these FJ Cruiser 17" wheels?

Alternatively, the front hubs look great. Can this style be used in the rear? Forgive my ignorance - Land Cruiser lockers are a new world to me. HZJ77

The front hub pictured is an OE power locking wheel hub (a functional component and not just a cosmetic cover) therefore I don't think it can be retrofitted into the rear axles without some lobotomy. Freewheeling hubs on the rear might also be considered goofy, or a feature, depending on the observer 😆

I could be wrong thought.

Cheers!
 
If you have FF axles, then I don't think any kind of center cap will work on those FJ wheels without modifications.

The OEM set up for the HZJ77 with FF has a center cap specifically designed for that purpose in the rear. Below is an example of the cap. Maybe those could somehow be adapted to your FJ wheels?

Nevermind. I see that those FJ cruiser wheels don't allow much of the FF to stick out (or you have SF).

I finally got tired of people asking "brooo like where's your rear hubcaps at yo? Did they fall off??"

So I resolved it by installing the Toyota Power Locking Hub covers over the rear axle plates. The hub covers share the same bolt pattern but obviously do not fit as-is. The inside of the hub covers need to be hollowed out. Additionally, the two little "knubs" on the rear axle plate need to be ground down. (what are those knubs for anyway?? I'm going to assume they are for manufacturing and plant assembly, as I see no other purpose for them.)

Requires 12pt M8 x 1.25mm nuts for socket fitment.

Looks WAY BETTER.

...and yes, yes, I know. There is no "locking hub" under there, and they are actually free-floating axles hidden. However, this quiets down the folks asking where my hub covers are at.
