20" grey center fronts started hitting the warehouses today. 20" chrome fronts are in casting right now, they should be done within a week or two

I'm patiently waiting on the grey 20's I ordered on April 13.

However, my patience will run out on July 13th:)

Interesting that you now have received your entire order that was placed with Eagle at the end of May. . . It would appear that the group buy orders are being put on the back burner by Eagle???

Ok, you are gonna have to post more than just one pic!! Lets see how the rears look from different angles, let's see sopme different angles of the whole truck, etc.....!!! Are you running 20x10's in the rear? If so, did you use a spacer, what size tires, etc...!!! You know you are going to be asked these questions, might as well post it up! Looks good though man.

will do guys all i have is my cell phone camera here today(which took the pic you see there ) but will have some more by the end of the day
rear is 20x10 295/40/20 1"adapter (plenty of room both sides)
front 20x8.5 245/40/20 5/16 spacer. 1/2" longer wheel studs
the front has modular spindles from CPP which bring in the wheels 3/4 of an inch each side so no rubbing issues so far
I only wish i had a little more meat they look a little thin up front to me ..
so looks like i will be going with a little taller tires up front they should be here friday

To me the front looks right, it's the back that has to much meat. Should have went with a 295/35 in the rear. If my wheels ever get here I'll have pics of what a 245/40, 295/35 NITTO Invo looks like with a 6/8 drop. Tires got here about an hour ago. Wheels, who knows! Think I'm getting the run around about them being shipped.

John, What do you think about running a 45' instead of the 40' series for the front, thats what I used to have on my Blazer, 245/45/18 on the front and 275/40/18 in the back, and the sidewalls looked the same,(not thinner in the front) Just a thought. See you soon.:chevy: Oh yeah, Your blazer looks Chingon! :ito:

Re: Boss 338 Wheels **GROUP BUY**
 
Sounds like you have the issue I do with tires. I'm not real happy with my choice due to the sidewall differences. Your blazer looks awesome!!

Re: Boss 338 Wheels **GROUP BUY**
 
It's the end of the day and I still don't see any new pics of the red blazer! What year rearend are you running in it by the way?

WOW i havent posted nor read up since aaahhh about page 5. I fully gave up on these wheels. I've tried for way to long to wait for them. I priced out the 338's on the given website and with shipping it came to $1,049.00 or something. I am ordering foose legend wheels 20x8.5 and 20x10 for $1,156.00 shipped they gave me garrunteed fitment or they pay for shipping back. The dang wheels look similar but the foose is chromed all the way though the wheel which i like.

just my 2 cents. good luck though guys i like the design of both wheels

Re: Boss 338 Wheels **GROUP BUY**
 
Here is a picture of mine with a 3/5 drop and the 338's on that I bought throght the Group Buy.

245/45/20 front on 20X8.5
315/35/20 Rear on 20X10

No space in the rear, I have a 72 truck. With a 72 rearend. I mini tubed the back 1 3/4inchs on each side.

On the front I just done alittle triming on the hub and they fit right on with no spacer needed.

Well the big brown truck and the little white truck have come and gone here at work as they do everyday and still no wheels for yet another week:(

Re: Boss 338 Wheels **GROUP BUY**
 
See, I was told that mine were shipped over two weeks ago. Only reason I know that is because I had called to cancel my order. I sent a PM yesterday to find out what's going on with the order, and have not got a PM returned. I beleive I was told the damn things shipped because they didn't want to give me my money back, so rather than giving the money back they made up a BS story about them shipping probably hoping I would stop calling. I asked that since the wheels had shipped I wanted a tracking number. I was told that they don't have tracking numbers for a month; something about the wheels aren't in the system for that long???? Now how is a company going to keep up with inventory if they don't even know what they have made until a month later???? All I know is if they were shipped over 2 weeks ago they would have already had time to make it from Cali to New York and probably half way back. Now how is it taking over 2 weeks to get from Cali to Tx???? I have shipped ALOT of parts to everywhere in the US and NONE of them took more than a week and a half to arrive.

As a matter of fact, my tires came from Ca. They shipped the 18th and arrived on my doorstep yesterday, the 24th.
