The right size boss 338 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Anti-Ricer · 08-07-2013, 01:38 AM

After much debate and lots and lots of searching I finally found the right rims for project redheaded stepchild.They are the BOSS 338 .Now to figure out what size I need.does Anyone have some ideas or suggestions on sizes for rims and tires? Its going to be lowered and I want them to fill the fender wells good but I don't want them so big it looks like a cartoon.

Here are a few different sizes.I believe it's like 17s up to 20s

My Vote would be 18X8's if you like some tire or 20X8.5 if you like some wheel and I stock some of them ......!

I run the boss 338 in 20x8.5 with 14mm offset. Tire size is 255/45/20 all the way around. I am lowered 4.5 in front and 5 in back. I have no rubbing and the tires fill the wheel wells. Did have to grind the edge of front rotor to fit. I have the 73 -87 front rotors that are 1 1/4 thick. Hope this helps.

Had to chime in.. What's the best price you have on a Ridler 695 (gray w/machined lip) 18 x 8 front and 18 x 9.5 rear?

Normally if I dont have to pay any extra freight .... meaning my warehouse has them in stock..... 20X8.5 14mm offset (5.25 BS) runs $184.80 each + shipping. If I have to pay to get them in they run $20.00 more.

Lugs run $14.00 for 20

Right now there are not enough 18X8's to make a set unless maybe you wanted to do 18"s and 20"s
