Its a 72 fleet.

Re: Boss 338 Wheels **GROUP BUY**
 

Great news for me and my '72 rear end! Might just go ahead and order some spacers right now before I even have the wheels ordered. (Still having an internal debate with myself about grey vs. chrome.) :)

Re: Boss 338 Wheels **GROUP BUY**
 

Crap. I think I ordered UPS.

Re: Boss 338 Wheels **GROUP BUY**
 

:metal:got mine orderd today.

Re: Boss 338 Wheels **GROUP BUY**
 

Ordered mine! Am I the only one that ordered Black?

Re: Boss 338 Wheels **GROUP BUY**
 

I noticed that myself. I wonder if anyone else got black. I got grey myself but thats because its goin to go with my theme.

Re: Boss 338 Wheels **GROUP BUY**
 

Im goin with a Yellow/Whtie Classic Two Tone... Like the Helmet in my picture. I just like black wheels....

Re: Boss 338 Wheels **GROUP BUY**
 

hahaah she suckered you...she was thinking hmmm last set of wheels was $2000. These are only $700...that leaves HER $1300 to go shopping! :lol:

Re: Boss 338 Wheels **GROUP BUY**
 

Ok, Im a little slow right now...

The 67 rear end is narrower, right?

So if your using a 1" spacer, then Ill beed a BIGGER spacer because the wheels will be even closer (touching) to the inside of the wheel well??

Re: Boss 338 Wheels **GROUP BUY**
 

Got the wheels on, and now I want to lower it...damn it! Well, guess I'll be ordering some drop springs :lol:

Re: Boss 338 Wheels **GROUP BUY**
 

is that stock height? if so now Ill now what my truck looks like. Our trucks are almost identical...except you have shiny exhaust lol

Re: Boss 338 Wheels **GROUP BUY**
 

It is stock in the front (maybe a little low due to 30 plus years of use and sag now) and 2" drop blocks in the back.

I think 2" lower front and back will be about right, I hope.

Re: Boss 338 Wheels **GROUP BUY**
 

that looks pretty good! I cant wait to get mine. I would vote 4 inch all the way around drop. cool truck

Re: Boss 338 Wheels **GROUP BUY**
 

well hopefully I can swing the drop kit from ece. Im thinking a 4/6 drop and eventually bags. I know sitting stock is way to high.

Re: Boss 338 Wheels **GROUP BUY**
 

If your on a budget just order the drop spindles for now. Cut the springs front and rear and your there. Later you can upgrade springs etc... as money permits. No extra money spent just twice the time

Re: Boss 338 Wheels **GROUP BUY**
 

I can afford springs. But you can't cut the rears on these trucks, due to the pigtail ends. I've considered cutting the fronts but it has been ingrained in me not to cut springs since I was a kid. But I have heard guys on here say they cut theirs and have no problems.

Anyways I think front and rear drop springs and an adjustable panhard will be under $3-350 IIRC.

Re: Boss 338 Wheels **GROUP BUY**
 

LEVITICUS, What size tires did you go with? Your trucks lookin good!

Re: Boss 338 Wheels **GROUP BUY**
 

Thanks man! They are 255/45R20 front on 20x8.5 and 275/45R20 rear on 20x10's.

I thought the 45 series were going to be too tall, but I think they look sweet. Great deal on the tires as well, $499 for the full set and they ride great.

Re: Boss 338 Wheels **GROUP BUY**
 

I thought about just cutting them but then it will ride like donkey crap. the ece kit comes with shock relocation and an adjustable track bar. Im sure the bbc Im putting in is going to add a lil bit of drop in the front lol

Re: Boss 338 Wheels **GROUP BUY**
 

Yeah, gotta love the Big Block lowering kit:metal::lol:

Re: Boss 338 Wheels **GROUP BUY**
 

Yes, the '67 rear is narrower by 3/4" on each side. A 1.5" spacer should be adequate, I'd think. Here's one example on eBay for $65 shipped: http://tinyurl.com/ygr6sqj.

Re: Boss 338 Wheels **GROUP BUY**
 

Wheels look sweet....any pictures of the other side of truck with the sun hitting the wheels?

I have the 4/5 (or 6) ECE drop....those wheels are going to fill the wheel wells nicely!

Re: Boss 338 Wheels **GROUP BUY**
 

thanks!!

Re: Boss 338 Wheels **GROUP BUY**
 

Here's my truck with a 4/6 ECE drop.

http://i92.photobucket.com/albums/l2...Comingback.jpg

these tires are 235-75-15 overall diameter is 28.87"

your tires are 29.03" and 29.74" so this will give you an idea of how it will fill the wheel wells if you do a drop.

Re: Boss 338 Wheels **GROUP BUY**
 

Your truck is going to look :smoke: with the 338's. Thanks for the pic!

Re: Boss 338 Wheels **GROUP BUY**
 

Why was this only posted in the 67-72 forum? There are board members that might be interested in these wheels that have different year trucks.

Re: Boss 338 Wheels **GROUP BUY**
 

too hard to monitor in multiple areas. Feel free to repost a link back to here for the second round.

Re: Boss 338 Wheels **GROUP BUY**
 

Is there gonna be a second round for group buy? Trying to get wifes approval is a long process. Im sure some of you can relate.

DZL1.

Re: Boss 338 Wheels **GROUP BUY**
 

Crap I somehow missed the whole order before 3pm on thursday thing. I was going to order this morning.

Re: Boss 338 Wheels **GROUP BUY**
 

just to be sure i will get the new version to fit a 95 silverado?? if there are fitment issues and it doesnt fit over the cap can a replacement new version be sent out?

Re: Boss 338 Wheels **GROUP BUY**
 

This deal is for the new version and you'll get the -3 revision, which is supposed to fit. If it doesn't, you'll need to take it up directly with American Eagle Wheel. Sublvr72 is just doing us a HUGE favor by getting these at cost and shouldn't be put in the middle of technical issues.

Re: Boss 338 Wheels **GROUP BUY**
 

ok so box will have -3 after part number??

im fitting 315 35 20 on the rear tires so looking forward to getting them :)

Re: Boss 338 Wheels **GROUP BUY**
 

Yup. It'll look like XXXX-XXXX-3-AA.

Re: Boss 338 Wheels **GROUP BUY**
 

I missed the Thursday 3pm part too. Can we still order?

Re: Boss 338 Wheels **GROUP BUY**
 

That'll be up to Sublvr72. My hope is that the deal continues indefinitely but that orders are placed only when X number of people have committed, where "X" is up to him to determine. We certainly can't ask him to place orders of one or two sets at a time when he's only doing this as a favor to our community.

Re: Boss 338 Wheels **GROUP BUY**
 

I didn't notice the deadline either. I'm slow and have not measured for fitment. Hope to see another round of GB.

Are there any 71-72 baggers out there with a pic of the 20in with 295/40's mounted?

Re: Boss 338 Wheels **GROUP BUY**
 

It looks like there is enough interest to do a second round. I have 3 orders that came in after the deadline already so those will be pushed back for round two. I'll leave the ordering up for those still interested, it will probably be another week before the second run is ordered. So that gives you now through Thursday at 3PM EST April 2, 2010

Re: Boss 338 Wheels **GROUP BUY**
 

Sublvr72 when do you think they will ship.

Re: Boss 338 Wheels **GROUP BUY**
 

Order Placed....

Im always jerk around till it's to late...Thanks for taking a 2nd Round of Orders!


This will also give me some motivation to start working on my truck again!

For everyone elses info, not that you NEED anymore justification for buying these at such a great price......here's one more......I have a GOOD relationship with the local America's Tire. Between my uncles auto shop and us running in demolition derbys, we do ALOT of business there. I called them to see if they could even come close to this price, and he was like...BRO, for the first time....I cant touch it! That's a smokin deal!

Re: Boss 338 Wheels **GROUP BUY**
 

Boss's website only lists the 20x10 with a 5 on 5 bolt pattern. There is no 20x8.5 with a 5 on 5 listed. Can anyone confirm they do make them?
