Rim Help

Okay my wife said that she wants to get me rims for Christmas. I am stuck on the boss 338's i have searched ALOT and cant get a for sure answer and i want to be 110 percent sure before i drop 800 bucks! The ebay link below is the exact ones i will be purchasing if they will work...im sorry if this has been covered multiple times. 20x10s in the rear and 20x8.5 in the front. I want the back to fit in JUST enough. I also would like to know the largest tire i can run in the back

Re: Rim Help

I used to have the Boss 338's with that exact wheel width & backspacing...
I was pleased with the fitment. Remember you will need to do a little grinding on the front rotor for the front wheels to work.

Have you thought about the gray centered boss wheels since your truck is gray/silver?

Re: Rim Help

If you have light duty rotors (1" thick) they will bolt right on. If you have HD rotors (1.25" thick) you will have to do a little grinding around the center of the rotor hub. No big deal but it has to be done.

My truck started out with HD brakes and my Boss' would not fit without the grinding. I had a full set of light duty components so I opted to swap out suspension.

Talking Re: Rim Help

Jwall what size tire were you running? Also my truck is going to be daytona blue/pearl white two tone...I think black would look best with that combo. I'm gonna do the bumper and grill surround (and whatever else metal that isn't shaved off) in a stainless/brushed look. The pinstripe seperating the two colors will be silverleaf (maybe) gonna do some sprayouts to see what it looks like. I started a build thread on here so I'll post up all the progress!

Re: Rim Help

well im running american racing daytonas 20s with 315/35 on the rear and they jsut barley fit i literally mean barley but thats because of my backspacking...I think your tire width depends more on your backspacing?
