For daily drive? I would not recommend it due to dust and debris that may enter the bearings.
For the Track, it is required removal.

I don't use the center caps. I got tired of taking them off before DE's.

Wait a minute the fronts have cap on the bearings so fronts would be OK.

ok. thanks. i like the look of no caps but if the rear bearings are in danger, ill just leave em on. common sense was telling me that they are on there for a reason

ditch all four, lose the unsprung weight, replace bearings as necessary.
