I'm going down to place the order Friday morning, so all orders must be in by Thursday before 3:00PM PST if you want them to ship by next week.

No Chrome 20's yet, just 18's

That AE blog said the 20's would be the first ones out. I guess not.

Everyone is so "blinded" by the cheap price,... that they just forget all the other stuff.
Most people running Coys 20x10's have a choice of 5" or 5.5" backspace.
These wheels have a 6.225" backspace.

Get out your tape measures and check out your trucks for yourself.
I was wondering how long it would take for rear b/s questions to come up.:lol:

And this whole time, I thought the b/s offered was custom b/s up to 6.225...
I guess they would cost 700+ a rim if that were the case.

Sublvr72 I sent you a PM asking a couple of Q's about this deal and your website.

The good news is they're a direct bolt-on for your '00 GMC. :D

Wait, they don't fit the back without spacers either? Does this apply to the 73-87's I thought it was just the front that wouldn't fit.

Measure your truck and compare it with the offset of these wheels. Pre-'70 will almost certainly require a spacer. '71-87 rear ends are 3/4" wider on each side (1.5" total) and may not need a spacer, or may only require a thin one rather than the full adapter-style spacer. Only you can determine for sure if you'll need a spacer.

Everyone needs to be clear: the wheels were retooled for a hub fitment issue, not a backspacing problem. If the backspacing was wrong for your application before, it'll be wrong for your application now. Some people used spacers in the past as a workaround for the fitment issue with the front hub, not because it was needed for backspacing.

I can't run more than 5.50"BS on my 74. Anything more & it will rub the inner wheel tub/mounting hardware.

Correct.

Re: Boss 338 Wheels **GROUP BUY**
 
This is pretty much off-topic, but is there a thread anywhere that lists the different rear-end widths for the different years? I've searched the forums and Google with no success. Sure would be nice to have readily available.

I just had to get in on this thread. I can tell its going to be another 20 page thread. I'm going to try and order a set on thursday. I was trying to hold out until we could see a truck with the new wheels on. Does any one know for sure if there will be another order placed next week?

When I get my set I plan on running 245/40/18's on front and 295/35/18's on the rear. I would probly run about the same with the 20's aswell.

Those will be short. I would recommend a 245-45-18 (26" tall) & 295-40-20 (29" tall).

Re: Boss 338 Wheels **GROUP BUY**
 
I sure hope someone posts some pics once they get their wheels. I'm curious how the 20x10s look with an adapter in place.
