Re: Boss 338 Wheels **GROUP BUY**
 
Can someone please tell me what the diameter and length (mounting surface to tip of dustcap) of a stock 1.25" rotor is? I converted my 63 GMC to 5 lug using an SSBC kit for a 75 Chevy and the hub looks huge to me. These new 338's are supposed to clear them, right?

Sublvr72 - Did you get my PM about changing my order? Not trying to be pushy, just want to get the money right with you so hopefully I can get the 20's shipped this week still. Thanks.

Well, I have some bad news. the -3 revision is currently only for the 20" wheels in gray and Chrome (when available)

The Black -3 revisions are still in production, no certain ETA yet on when they will be ready to ship.

and the worse news... the 18" rims have NOT been retooled yet. Eagle gave me an 18" rim today to test fit. -2 is the current revision on the 18" and I can confirm that it DOES NOT FIT the larger 1.25" rotor. It will however fit the 1" rotor.

So those of you who ordered 18" rims let me know what you want to do, I can refund your order, or we can upgrade you to 20" wheels.



Now that the bad news is out of the way, the good news is the 20" wheels are shipping this week. I should be getting tracking information from Eagle before the end of the week for all of you guys. Once I receive it I will shoot everyone emails with tracking info.

Sublvr72,
I guess I am going to hold off for now. I just seen the post.... I will think about the 20's
If you can PM me to let me know you got this.
Thanks

Hey guys, sorry I've been out in San Diego on business. I'll check and reply to all PM's in the morning. I got them, just haven't had a chance to open any of them.

Re: Boss 338 Wheels **GROUP BUY**
 
So let me get this straight I ordered the 18's and they will not fit? I seen a cat on here that grinded a little bit around his hub and they ended up fitting I think this was for 20's would this be the same case for the 18's let me know something that way I can either change to 20's or cancel my order thanks

The 20s have been revised and released in grey; chrome and black are in the pipeline. The 18s have not, despite earlier reports to the contrary. They will be changed eventually, but no ETA right now. If you want something that fits right now, your only choice is grey 20s.

A little redneck machining aka a grinder and they slid right on!! Looks like the fronts are solved, now onto the rears.

Before and after, you only have to take a little off, not much.

Havent tried the new revised center cap yet but will let you know in a few.

Leviticus, is that with 1 1/2 rotor with 2 7/8 diameter?
What version is that? -2AA
What wheel is it for the 18s or the 20s?
If it is 20, will it be same mod for 18s?

smith2481 03-31-2010 08:45 AM

Re: Boss 338 Wheels **GROUP BUY**
 
that is what I am asking if that is all I have to do with the 18s I dont mind that a bit I am all for getting them if not too much work

Those are the revised 20s (-3-AA part #) as shown in his thread here. His hub seems to have been significantly thicker than those on my stock 1.25" rotors. (The measurements from my digital caliper are posted elsewhere in this thread.) No idea why his would have been different, but there ya have it. Measure before ordering because YMMV. :)

As I said in response to your PM, the 18s will require significant machine work on the hubs to make them fit as documented in the other thread. Leviticus just hit his with a grinder to knock down a bit on the edge. For some reason his hubs were apparently a lot thicker than mine, specs for which are posted elsewhere in this thread.

I guess I will have to read both threads again.
Damn, they have both gotton so big it takes forever to find what you are looking for.

Oh well I will take my chances and go ahead and get them I will make them work one way or the other lol thanks for everything guys

Boise69 03-31-2010 09:52 AM

Re: Boss 338 Wheels **GROUP BUY**
 
is there a DIY on swapping out the drums to the rotors? Since i havent done this yet, i will just order the parts that will fit and like DirtyJack said, i'll call ECE to order the parts. But if someone can send me a link to the actual job i'd much appreciate it!!

Brossow... just send me the wheels i ordered, i wont wait.

bigarmzz 03-31-2010 10:04 AM

Re: Boss 338 Wheels **GROUP BUY**
 
sorry for sounding ignorant here, but just wanted to make sure:

the grey 20's, in a 8.5 front and 10 rear, are ready to ship? or are they back ordered?

the 18 x 8's are in stock, right and ready to ship?

i have 1" rotors, so i shouldnt have a problem w/hub issues, i dont think either way, just trying to decide between the 18's and the 20's....cant seem to make up my mind....if i know one is in stock and ready to go, and one isnt, that would help me decide

thank you

I have nothing to do with your order. Contact Sublvr72 about that. I just got the ball rolling on this; Sublvr72 is the business end of things. :)

They are the only revised wheels in stock and ready to ship. Everything else involved in the -3 revision is still in production.

With the 1" rotors, there are no hub issues using the old revision, either 18s or 20s. The old 18s (and 20s, I assume) are in stock and ready to ship in all finishes (AFAIK -- verify through Sublvr72).

don't the -2 18's have a different center cap than the -3 version I thought I saw this in one of the posts

Yes, they will ... or should. Can't say for sure because they're not out yet.

darthwall 03-31-2010 07:38 PM

ok well looks like im just going to do 20's all around then

TyKby2 03-31-2010 10:06 PM

Re: Boss 338 Wheels **GROUP BUY**
 
I have the 1.25" rotors, but since I plan on lowering my truck I'll just switch to the 1" rotors, so the -2's should be fine.

take into consideration that you have to run different calipers with the 1" rotors as well

There are several ways to order; all are listed in the first post in this thread.

I am getting the 18s I am just going to take my rotors to the machine shop and have them take a little off I need my rotors turned anyways so what the heck I will just kill 2 birds with one stone

Sent my order this morning!

Boise69 04-01-2010 11:55 AM

Does this mean though i'll never be able to go with 12-13" rotors and wildwood brakes?

That all depends on the center bore of the hub

TyKby2 04-01-2010 01:55 PM

Re: Boss 338 Wheels **GROUP BUY**
 
About how big of a spacer will I need. I already have .25" spacers laying around the house would those work or would i need thicker ones?

Sublvr72 04-01-2010 02:54 PM

Re: Boss 338 Wheels **GROUP BUY**
 
I haven't tried it yet but the .25 spacer might be enough to clear it

adpostel 04-01-2010 04:15 PM

Re: Boss 338 Wheels **GROUP BUY**
 
OK, I'm done, staggered set of 20X10's and 18X8's in Black. My buddy says he will take the fronts to work and machine them for me to the correct size. I guess I'll pull of my rotor to make sure they fit. I'm pretty pumped.

You did note that black is backordered and not shipping yet, right?

I just joined to get in on this deal, I want to thank you guys for putting this together and wanted to say that Sublvr72 was really helpful on the phone with getting my order. I own a small business and can tell you he is going "above and beyond" for everyone here.

Thanks again, Mitchell...

Sublvr72 04-01-2010 06:27 PM

Re: Boss 338 Wheels **GROUP BUY**
 
I just took the wheels down from the site. If there are more interested just let me know and if we can get another round going we will.

I have a meeting with eagle tomorrow to finalize some orders and I'll update you shortly.
