Yes, they definitely make them. If you look back a page or two, you'll see them installed on a blue '72 longbed. The regional distributor I talked to a few weeks ago had no idea why they aren't listed on the website but believes it's just an oversight as they are definitely available and in the ordering system.

Re: Boss 338 Wheels **GROUP BUY**
 

Thats awsome! Thanks for all your help sublvr72 and brossow.

Re: Boss 338 Wheels **GROUP BUY**
 

I know you guys are anxious, so here's the update...

I just got home from the Eagle Alloys sales office, the orders that were in by Thursday 3PM have been submit to Eagle for fulfillment. They are working on filling the order today, and they are expected to be ready for shipment by mid next week. When I make it back over there I'll submit the next batch of orders, and that batch will consist of the orders received after the cut off yesterday through the cut off this next Thursday.

Here's a picture I snapped at the warehouse on my phone of the eagle warehouse...

Re: Boss 338 Wheels **GROUP BUY**
 

what would be the ideal tire sizes for the staggered 20's? whats the biggest tire I can fit on the rear and what looks the best?

Re: Boss 338 Wheels **GROUP BUY**
 

depends on if you are stock height, lowered, or bagged

Re: Boss 338 Wheels **GROUP BUY**
 

its stock height right now, but i should be ordering the ece 4/6 drop in the next week or so...or I might do a cheap bagging, not sure what I wanna do. I think bagging maybe more expensive right now.

Re: Boss 338 Wheels **GROUP BUY**
 

Anyone seen a black truck with the black version of these?? Looking for a picture but haven't found anything

Re: Boss 338 Wheels **GROUP BUY**
 

Here's a black one with the grey. Use your imagination ... or Photoshop. :D

Re: Boss 338 Wheels **GROUP BUY**
 

I'm also interested in what size tires are best for a bagged application. I'm leaning towards 20" wheels. Thanks in advance.

Re: Boss 338 Wheels **GROUP BUY**
 

Fronts 245/40/20=27.7in
OR
*Front 245/45/20=28.7in

*Rear 295/40/20=29.5in

This* is what I plan to run on my bagged Blazer if I can get MY boss to O.K. a purchase.:lol:

Re: Boss 338 Wheels **GROUP BUY**
 

Thanks for the info! Now time to look for tire prices and my bosses approval as well.

Re: Boss 338 Wheels **GROUP BUY**
 

this is great, these are the wheels i had planned! now what size and did i miss the deal???

Re: Boss 338 Wheels **GROUP BUY**
 

Thursday is the deadline for getting in on the next round of orders. No guarantee if there will be a third round.

Re: Boss 338 Wheels **GROUP BUY**
 

Great! i'll make it, where do i find my prices?

Re: Boss 338 Wheels **GROUP BUY**
 

I'm gonna do a 245/45/20 front, and try my best to sqeeze a 315/35/20 in the rear.....

Both Tires.
Side wall: 4.3 inch
Height: 28.7 inch

Its a pet peeve of mine to have the same side wall on tires.

Re: Boss 338 Wheels **GROUP BUY**
 

If you are lowering your truck, not sure if you can without massaging fenders or mini tub. Hopefully other guys can tell you.

Re: Boss 338 Wheels **GROUP BUY**
 

Everything you need to know is in the first post in this thread. :)

Re: Boss 338 Wheels **GROUP BUY**
 

Ok. got it now... last question. I'm going 18's and i thought 10s in the rear but i dont see an option for that so i guess its the 9.5 but can you go 18x9.5 all the way around and if so, anyone have a pic of this set-up?

Re: Boss 338 Wheels **GROUP BUY**
 

I have mini tubbed the rear.... 1 3/4 on each side. Truck has a 3/5 drop on it now. Gonna go more soon....

Re: Boss 338 Wheels **GROUP BUY**
 

I would think you wouldn't have issues with mini tubs.

Re: Boss 338 Wheels **GROUP BUY**
 

I hope not, but I'm not goin to order tires til I fit the wheels to the truck.... Keeping my fingers crossed.

Re: Boss 338 Wheels **GROUP BUY**
 

Yes there is a guy with this setup on his square body but it isn't lowered or anything but heres the link:

Re: Boss 338 Wheels **GROUP BUY**
 

No 18x10s, no. Here's a post about an '83 with 18x9.5 all around with links to pics:

Re: Boss 338 Wheels **GROUP BUY**
 

thanks!


Scratching my head.. i think the deep dish on the front doesnt look so good so now i'm thinking 18x8" (8.5" would be nice) on the front, i just want to make sure the wheels are as far to the fender lip as possible, imo when the fronts are set in it doesnt look right.

Re: Boss 338 Wheels **GROUP BUY**
 

i ordered the staggered 18's to get the deep dish in the back. Ideally, i'd like the 8.5"f and 10"r in the 18, but I don't think I'll miss .5"...

Boise69, 4.5" bs in the front on the 18x8, with a standard 5 lug disc brake setup in the front, the wheel will be pretty close to the outside of the fender lip. I really don't think you'll have to worry about it sitting in too far. Most people with discs in the front and 18-20" wheels run 5" bs on the front.

Re: Boss 338 Wheels **GROUP BUY**
 

Here is my truck with 18x8 chrome all the way around

Re: Boss 338 Wheels **GROUP BUY**
 

Looks good...What was your tire selection? Got any close up pics?

Re: Boss 338 Wheels **GROUP BUY**
 

Rob...what kind of mirrors are those? Truck looks good!

Re: Boss 338 Wheels **GROUP BUY**
 

They are from little joes rod shop in NC they are the same as the ones on the silver bullet build..... tires are 255 55 18 that is the only pic I have right now

Re: Boss 338 Wheels **GROUP BUY**
 

That looks sharp!

Re: Boss 338 Wheels **GROUP BUY**
 

I just ordered the 18s 18x8.5 up front and 18x9.5 for the rear my truck is lowered 2.5 up front and 4 in the back what size tires should I use?

Re: Boss 338 Wheels **GROUP BUY**
 

Try to keep your tire diameter around 28-30in. I came up with 245/50 front 27.7in dia...
A 275/45 for the rear is 27.8in dia, But, imo it's not wide enough for the rim.

Re: Boss 338 Wheels **GROUP BUY**
 

This is the set-up I want (18x8.5 frt and 8x9.5 rears) but i dont see that as an option >??

Re: Boss 338 Wheels **GROUP BUY**
 

the 18's only come in 8" or 9.5"

the 20's are 8.5" and 10"

Re: Boss 338 Wheels **GROUP BUY**
 

all right all right :smoke: i was justa wishin. i guess .5 wont kill me.

Re: Boss 338 Wheels **GROUP BUY**
 

I ordered the staggered 18x8 and the 18x9.5
I was going to order some 245/40s up and 295/35 in rear.

The 245/40 are real common. 295/40 are NOT common but 295/35 are. go figure. Most tire company recommend a 10in with for the 295s but I dont think .5" will make that big a difference.

Re: Boss 338 Wheels **GROUP BUY**
 

Howdy, I just ordered the 20" 8.5 all the way round. I'll be dropping it 4" in front and 5" in the back with the ECE drop spindle kit. I was thinking of going 255/45 front and back? Is this going to work? Is there a better choice? I'd like to go wider in the rear, but I was thinking of the ease of keeping all four the same. Let me know what you guys think!

Re: Boss 338 Wheels **GROUP BUY**
 

"Ease of of keeping all four the same"? I don't understand. Once they're bolted on, where's the difficulty with staggered wheels? Pretty hard to get them mixed up. :confused:

Re: Boss 338 Wheels **GROUP BUY**
 

He may be saying ease of rotation.
