Nice! There are a few guys on the "big meats" thread with the 15's but not the 14's. I have been dying to see these mounted and they look awesome.

How do they ride?

They ride well, they are a little noisy when slowing down to a stop but overall a good setup and ride and has a nice look

Those look good. I'm a fan of the no hubcap look but never thought about removing the clips.

I like hubcaps to keep the dirt and mud out of your brakes, when driving in the woods.

The size is LTE78/--14

I purchased them from here
https://www.universaltire.com/

But they are cheapest here (didn't get them here bc at the time they were out of stock)

You can probably find some kind of rubber plug to stick in the drum's hole.
