a guy in town has done this on his tahoe and i think it looks better normal.

yep, cut about 1" or so off. I cannot remember how much I cut, but it was quite a bit. Than you have to get shorter screws also. If you decide to black out the stars, plastic coat them instead of paint. That way when you hit them at the car wash the paint doesn;t come off.

I cut my screws down and re-threaded the ends.

If you guys cut them and decide you hate it, holla at me, I have a few extra center caps that were sent to me in error.

Tempted to do this mod, just got my Rockstars today, Les Schwab thought maybe they sent me the wrong caps cause they stuck out so far. Anyone have a pic of the shortened caps?
