menace121978 · 08-31-2009, 12:57 AM

no, havent heard that. the fitment issue was with boss wheels as far as i know.

You might have to do a little grinding on the "nose" of the rotor.

**N2TRUX** · 08-31-2009, 08:50 AM

There was an issue with the center cap not clearing the grease cap. I "heard" that they corrected it.

dv8customs · 08-31-2009, 09:35 AM

They fit fine with no modifications..

bigarmzz · 08-31-2009, 05:46 PM

mine bolted right up with no sweat at all my man

20 x 8.5's up front
20 x 10's out back

Primer70 · 08-31-2009, 06:08 PM

I had to grind the hub on my rotors right by the dust caps for them to go on up front. Mine 20" C5s are about a year & a half old, so they might have corrected that by now. My only regret is not getting the 22s.

Blue Gas · 08-31-2009, 08:31 PM

I'm running 18x7s up front and 18x9.5s out back on my 85. They bolted up without a problem.

ratty 46 · 08-31-2009, 08:45 PM

I love these wheels & have narrowed my choices to these & a nitto.

Good luck - let us know when they arrive how they actually fit up.

Blue Gas - what was the back spacing??

Front: 18x7, 3" or 3.5"? BS - I'll measure tommorrow when I have the wheels off.

Rear: 18x9.5, 5" BS

hey blue gas, do you have any other pictures you can share?

**nlped** · 09-01-2009, 07:56 PM

Hey, Blue Gas...truck looks good. I'm a victim of waiting on the Boss 338. I have the rears w/ the tires already mounted so I am sorta stuck waiting for the fronts. in theory, I will have them in about a week...we shall see!

Oh, I went with the Toyo instead of the Nitto. The tread looks a bit more agressive and they are rated for the heavier application

Blue Gas · 09-01-2009, 07:58 PM

Thanks. here's a couple of it when it was in primer.

Blue Gas · 09-02-2009, 09:27 PM

Falken FK452 - they weren't my favorite but the price was right.
Front: 245/45/18
Rear: 275/40/18

I am thinking about running the same tire and wheel combo for my daily driver, was wondering if the ride beats you to death with that tire choice, or is it okay for a driver?

therapy · 02-23-2012, 11:28 PM

Heres mine 20x10 all around and I run 18s on the front now but I did have to grind mine too.

I know this an old post but, did you have to do anything special to fit the 20x10's in the front? I have an 87 Sierra with a 4.5/6 drop and I would love to go 20x10 on front and rear.

Matt86 · 09-06-2014, 10:02 PM

I got Ridler 695's on mine 20x10 rear 20x8 in front

1984 swb chevy · 09-07-2014, 07:20 AM

My Coys are about 5 years old and I didn't have to grind anything to get them on. I hope to someday drive this truck so I can see how this setup feels.
