Boss 335 Wheels fitment?

I'm looking into getting the boss motorsports 335 wheels. Looking at getting 20 x 8.5. The backspacing is 5.671 in. I know people had problems with the Boss 338 wheel fitment and they were suppose to be coming out with a new wheel to fit out trucks, but I was wondering if anyone put the 335 on their truck or if anyone knows if they will fit our trucks. I have an '82 c10 2wd, 5x5 lug pattern if that matters. Thanks for any help.

I cant swear to it but I think the 5.75 BS is going to be to much for the front, Ive done a 5.50 BS 22X9 wheel on a square Body but it got pretty tight turning, we did modify the turn stops to keep from getting into the A-Arms

I can order these .

I have the 20 x 8.5 on my 86. They need a big spacer in the rear to look "right" IMO and the front needs a spacer to allow you to put the center cap on. Pics are in the 73-87 short box thread.

What year is your truck? The tire guy told me some of the new trucks have the center cap problem. (mines an 86) The dust cap covering the nut sticks way out.
