Re: Staggard or What?

IMO Ive always liked the staggered look. Thats what Im doing on mine. It gives it that muscle look. And you gotta love that huge lip on the back set! The only reason I personally would consider doing a non staggered setup would be that you can rotate the wheels around to prolong tire life. Id go staggered on your expensive rims and keep the regular stockers for winters and long trips.

Re: Staggard or What?

There is a TON of info about the Boss 338 Wheels on here.
I like the wider wheel on the rear of the truck,... because the rearend has a narrower "track width" than the front wheels.

Didn't think of this! To many years in the Air Force! I like this idea!

Re: Staggard or What?

Staggered because it looks better! Who cares if you cant rotate them front to back. Buy tires that are A-Symetrical and not directional and you can rotate them side to side if you wanted to.
20x8 5.25 backspace, 255/40/20
20x10 5.5 backspace, 295/40/20

A good crossthread is better than Loctite any day.

Life is not about what you have, but who you have to share it with.

Re: Staggard or What?

Have You seen the 275 x 50 x 20/ 20 x 8.5 and 5.25 back spacing? Will the tires be taller ?

Re: Staggard or What?

If you're not going to lower it(I think you should!) then dont do staggered wheels. They wont look right on a stock height truck.
