Boss 338 ?'s

My plans are to lower my 71' C10 approx. 5/7 with a set of Boss 338's. I wanted to go with 20's up front and 22's out back but as far as i can tell everywhere i have called says there are no 22's to be found in gunmetal with the polished lip. Anyone know where i might find a set??? Next thing is if I have to go with a set of 20's all the way around with 8.5 up front and 10 out back should i go with the 5.5 offset or the 6.25. Im getting mixed answers. The reason i ask is because my plans are to go with an extreme Porterbuilt drop next year and i want the wheels to work with the truck now on the static drop and also with the extreme drop next year.Planning on going 255/40/20 up front with a 295/40/20 out back if i go with the 20's all the way around. If i go with the 22's out back ill go 255/40/20 up front and 295/35/22 in the rear. I f any of this dont sound right please let me know. Also if anyone knows the best place to get the 338's from that may have the 22's please let me know. Im in Indiana so closer the location the better. Thanks guys!! Any suggestions are welcomed

Re: Boss 338 ?'s

Acording to the BOSS website they only make the 338 20.0x10, 5 on 5, in a 6.230 backspace.

Also the 22.0x9.5 in a 5 on 5 only comes with a 5.730 backspace and then ONLY in chrome or black. They do not even show it in gunmetal.

I bet that is why you can't find any....they don't make them. anymore?

Re: Boss 338 ?'s

Several members on here have the 20x10's with 5.5" BS,... even though it's not on Boss's website.
It's like they really DON'T want to sell any wheels.

Never seen any company like Boss/AE Wheels,...

Re: Boss 338 ?'s

I noticed on their website a few months ago that they (american eagle wheel corp) have a location in henderson nevada and it's half a mile from my house so I took a drive over there. Sure enough, large space in industrial complex, their name in giant letters on building, dozens of new phone books as well as pizza menus and old junk mail pilled in front of the door. Looked like they been gone awhile. Note in window said call the 800 number....
