That being said, BOSS really shot themselves in the foot with this one. The good news is it will keep the number of trucks running these down somewhat so you won't have as many people with the same rims.... :) |
Re: Boss 338 Wheels **GROUP BUY**
I wish they would/could get it right with the 6 lug 330's for my 69, I would be a definite customer...

Re: Boss 338 Wheels **GROUP BUY**
I am assumming I would need to get my new front rotors cut for the bore size like all the others, no?
I was also told by a local dealer the offset/bs is wrong for my truck and I would need some large spacers(especially in the rear) that wouldn't be smart to install... Are they wrong? |

There's nothing wrong with an adapter-style spacer in the rear, unless maybe you're putting down 800 ft-lb of torque and launching like a maniac. For a daily driver there's nothing wrong with a good bolt-on spacer (such as this set that I recently purchased on eBay). Bottom line is if you want these rims, you'll have to use spacers in the rear and work some kind of magic up front. They obviously weren't designed for our trucks, but making them work isn't difficult or dangerous. Brent |
Re: Boss 338 Wheels **GROUP BUY**
that kind of stinks..... I was all happy cuz I have the 1" rotor so I was thinking I was going to get away from doing anything to make the wheels fit,, but now that you mention that backspacing for the rear 20x10, I am pissed lol..... I order a 20x10 for the rear with 295/40 tire now the you guys mention the need for a spacer , do yo think I could go up to the 305/40 tire ? should fit with the spacer.... what do you guys thinkkk sorryy for being off topic a little
\\ edit" but now that I think about it those rear tires are 20x10 with a backspacing for 6.5 and a offset of +20 mm which will offset the 6.5 backspacing down to something just above the 5.5 mark... ? any body? but then again I am probably wrong.,.... than again.. I read about the adapter/spacer no big deal.. just thinking out loud... |

Re: Boss 338 Wheels **GROUP BUY**
So now your saying that if you are running the 1.25 rotors, you have to grind the rotor down or use a spacer AND you'll have to use a spacer in the back as well? Or is the rear spacer only if you don't have room for the larger tire. I have mini tubs in the back, so I am guessing it will be fine. The rear spacer is so that the larger tire will fit in the wheel well, not anything having to do with the hub bore size, correct?

Re: Boss 338 Wheels **GROUP BUY**
I received my wheels last week (18's) and they are simply beautiful. I'm working with lolife99 to make them work with my 69 since he found the way and what a help he is!!! So i'm off to convert my front susp to 73+. I'll post a build thread on it. Thanks guys!

Here is some pics of the front issues. The rotor is only 2mm to big, but I agree that a grinder would fix the issue pretty easy. I haven't done mine yet, but I don't think that it will be a big deal. I wonder too who was in charge of re-designing these. Did they ever try one of these on a rotor? It would of been easy for them to machine 2mm more on the wheel but oh well, its done now. Has anyone noticed that there has been over 15,000 views of this thread? Pretty cool. Let me know if anyone else needs any pics of anything.

Re: Boss 338 Wheels **GROUP BUY**
So with the new wheels having the same issue, does it make any differnce whether I order the -2AA version in 18" or wait for the -3AA version in the 18" to be made?

Re: Boss 338 Wheels **GROUP BUY**
I finally got my wheels. I was really starting to stress without any tracking numbers and all that. You can get an immediate tracking number when you buy something off Ebay, so I thought that was a little strange. I ordered them on 4/10. Then when you order you were supposed to select Fed Ex for shipping, and then when they showed up they were on a UPS truck. Anyways they are beautiful!!!!!!! I'm glad I did it, thank you to the guys that did all this for us. Scott
