Believe me, when the -3 revision 18s are ready to ship, you won't have to wait to hear about it from someone who already received a set. :)

Re: Boss 338 Wheels **GROUP BUY**
 

gots my rears today and threw them on my grocery getter! It changed the look of this truck 100% from the stock BS i was running.:metal:

Re: Boss 338 Wheels **GROUP BUY**
 

So what size tires is everyone running on the 20's? Is there a thread somewhere (I tried looking) or website that has pics of the different sizes? I don't want no rubber bands. The best I could come up with is 295/40/20 and 255/40/20 but can't seem to find a close pic of how big the sidewall is. I'm not that good when it comes to tire sizes. Brossow, whats the difference between the 255/40/20 and the 245/40/20 that you got? Any pics? - Edit also my local tire guy can't get these sizes in the same brand. He told me online ordering and he could mount and balance for me. He said he checked almost all warehouses in southeast and no one has these sizes in matching brands. Any thoughts?

Re: Boss 338 Wheels **GROUP BUY**
 

Here's a link to a really nice tire size calculator that will tell you exactly what the width and sidewall height of any tire is: http://www.gtsparkplugs.com/TireCalculator.html

To answer your question, the 255/40-20 is 10" wide with a 4" sidewall. The 245/40-20 is 9.65" wide with a 3.86" sidewall. You didn't ask, but the 295/40-20 is 11.6" wide with a 4.65" sidewall. Ideally I would have gone with a 295/35-20 in the rear (with a 4" sidewall) to more closely match the sidewall height up front, but that size wasn't available in the tires I wanted.

I don't have any pics of the ones I picked out today -- they had to order 'em in special and they're coming from two different locations (rears from NC and fronts from GA).


Give Discount Tire Direct a call (800-589-6789). They'll beat anyone's prices (after shipping is figured in) and have access to warehouses across the country. My local DT guy called half a dozen DT warehouses before turning up the rears for me, and for the fronts he's actually getting them from The Tire Rack (a competitor -- go figure).

Re: Boss 338 Wheels **GROUP BUY**
 

Thanks for the info, that helps alot. If anyone else gets pics post them up with tire sizes.

Re: Boss 338 Wheels **GROUP BUY**
 

That looks pretty sick!

Re: Boss 338 Wheels **GROUP BUY**
 

SECURITY GUY - My 96 GMC Yukon, pictured in post #522 on the previous page is running 20x8.5's and 255-40-20's in front and 20x10's and 295-40-20's out back.

thanks to all involved in the group purchase deal, I have been wanting to wheel and tire my Yukon for over a yr now and just couldn't make up my mind which wheel I wanted and I was doing research on the Boss 338's and found this forum. with info and deals like I have found on this site I think I will stick around. The price was what made me pull the trigger on these whells and I'm glad I did.

Re: Boss 338 Wheels **GROUP BUY**
 

What brand tire are you running? How much drop do you have? Looks great!

Re: Boss 338 Wheels **GROUP BUY**
 

good news for those waiting for chrome...

They are starting to hit the warehouses. This set is 5x4.75. They don't have any 5x5 yet, but they expect them shortly!

Re: Boss 338 Wheels **GROUP BUY**
 

Whoa there, pardner! That label says it's still revision -2. And I see the date of manufacture is 3/30, so it's not like it's old stock. WTF? :confused:

Re: Boss 338 Wheels **GROUP BUY**
 

My tires are Toyo Proxxes ST 2's, I got them from onlinetires.com in 3 days. My truck is lowered with a McGaughy's kit and its either 3"/4" 0r 4"/4" .

Re: Boss 338 Wheels **GROUP BUY**
 

GOT MY WHEELS!!!!!! Will post test fit pics later.

DZL1.

Re: Boss 338 Wheels **GROUP BUY**
 

just noticed that, interesting. maybe it's because it's not 5x5

Re: Boss 338 Wheels **GROUP BUY**
 

Got my wheels installed. 20x10 with 295-35-20 and 20x8.5 with 255-35-20 Nitto Invo's. I had the same problem with the hub bore. My dealer gave me 1/2 inch spacers and conical lugs. I think they they look sweet. I wish they made them in a 22. I really wanted 22's in the rear but all the big name wheels are way too expensive!

Re: Boss 338 Wheels **GROUP BUY**
 

WOW, looks great!

Re: Boss 338 Wheels **GROUP BUY**
 

That looks awesome! I was leaning towards the 18's, but those 20's are awesome.
Love the truck!

Re: Boss 338 Wheels **GROUP BUY**
 

Is anyone else having issues with the new o-ring center caps not fitting that great? It seams the o-rings are to big and stretch out instead of tucking into the center bore like they should.

Re: Boss 338 Wheels **GROUP BUY**
 

:bann:I bet that is one of my rims I ordered today. 20x10's and 18x8's in a 4.75 bolt pattern. I have a 71 camaro subrame and a disk brake 9 inch so it should be fine for my 56. I'm totally stoked!!!!! I'm surprised no one else has ordered this combo, Sublvr72 had to add too the website to get these ordered.:cf::cf::cf:

Re: Boss 338 Wheels **GROUP BUY**
 

I have never bought, seen , used , a wheel spacer. Forgive my ignorance on the subject.
Question. Would longer studs be required on the rear when using a spacer?

Re: Boss 338 Wheels **GROUP BUY**
 

the stock studs are ok. It is simply a 1/2 inch spacer that goes between the wheel and the hub. A conical lug nut has to be used instead of an acorn style. It has a shoulder to help keep it aligned. It worked for me but the best option is wait for the correct wheel, but i had tires already mounted and they told my dealer that there was only 1 of the correct wheel in the country friday. I did not require spacers on the rear so nothing changed there.

Re: Boss 338 Wheels **GROUP BUY**
 

man that truck looks good....n2trux posted this pic awhile back for me

you remember his screen name in here? i looked but couldnt find it, thanks

Re: Boss 338 Wheels **GROUP BUY**
 

arent they supposted to come out with 22x8.5/22x10 versions soon?

Re: Boss 338 Wheels **GROUP BUY**
 

This spring was the rumor last fall, but that was before they had to retool everything. Wouldn't surprise me if it's a year from now before they're out ... and two years before they fit right. :lol:

Re: Boss 338 Wheels **GROUP BUY**
 

That's so sexy! :metal:

Re: Boss 338 Wheels **GROUP BUY**
 

any update on shipping? I still haven't seen anything in my email about my order? Just getting a little excited is all.......

Re: Boss 338 Wheels **GROUP BUY**
 

Got mine last Thursday and love them, haven't mounted tires on them yet but need to sell another set of wheels to buy tires.

Re: Boss 338 Wheels **GROUP BUY**
 

Yall are killing me. . . . they've made it to Georgia now :banghead:. . . . I've got to get mine ordered,

Please let everybody know before the next deadline

Re: Boss 338 Wheels **GROUP BUY**
 

Sent you a PM Sub. Please let me know when the dead line is, as I would like to get a set of 18x8/18x9.5 wheels. Thanks!

Re: Boss 338 Wheels **GROUP BUY**
 

Question for you...(Sublvr 72)

I have read that your the guy to talk to for info and pricing on wheels.

Do you know if they make the 330 in the correct 6 lug bolt pattern (Stock1969 short/fleet) and back spacing?

Probably going to do a 4/6 or 5/7 drop on the truck and I was looking at 20x8.5 for the front and 22x9 in the rear.

What do you think it would cost and take to get them to work?(shoot me a pm)

Thanks

Brandin

Re: Boss 338 Wheels **GROUP BUY**
 

ya got mine yesterday looks very nice I still kinda wish I would of held out for the 18's in front but oh well still is a nice combo

Re: Boss 338 Wheels **GROUP BUY**
 

I have an '82 C10 short, and I am on the line of buying the chrome or grays. I plan on running 20x8.5 up front and 20x10 in the rear. Sorry for stealing pics, just want to know people's opinions on which they think look best. Oh I almost forgot I plan on painting the truck black so this is why I'm up in the air on which will look best, and whether the chrome is worth the extra.

Re: Boss 338 Wheels **GROUP BUY**
 

personaly I like the bottom truck but it all depends on what you're doin to the truck and color you are painting it.

Re: Boss 338 Wheels **GROUP BUY**
 

just test fitted my rears with the test paint side of my truck.

Re: Boss 338 Wheels **GROUP BUY**
 

well I plan on painting it glossy black so that is why I dont know whether the gray wheels will look good

Re: Boss 338 Wheels **GROUP BUY**
 

with a gloss black paint I would run chrome rims just my opinion the grey look good on alot of projects including black

Re: Boss 338 Wheels **GROUP BUY**
 

I agree w/ gloss black I whould run chrome to

Re: Boss 338 Wheels **GROUP BUY**

Re: Boss 338 Wheels **GROUP BUY**
 

i guess I forgot to add this are on a 5x5 bolt pattern for a 84 swb, I am a little confused on what all do I need to do to make this fit, spacers? or on the 20x10 on the rear with the 6.25 back spacing they offer any rubbing issues? my truck is not lower yet but I want to do something like a 5/7 or 4/6 any help is appreciated for this confusing matter ,,, at least confusing to me lol
