Man I hate telling people numbers.
I assume you are talking 67-72 era trucks?
There are too many chances to make mistakes.
I normally tell people to "measure their truck themselves",... but here goes.

I went to Boss' website.
The wheels are actually 22x9, (not 9.5" wide).
That 1/2" may not seem like much,... but I almost waste $1k by ordering the wrong BS wheels myself.
(at $500 per wheel) you have to measure!

These wheels come in 5.75" BS and 6.25" BS.
For static dropped trucks I would go with the 5.75" BS all the way around.
You will need a spacer (at least 1" or more),... to move the rear wheels out a little since the "track width" is narrower in the rear.

If you are bagging it,... I would run the 6.25" BS wheels just up front to tuck them in a little more.

Again,... I like the wheels tucked under the fenders.
You can measure the wheels yourself,... just remember a 9" wide wheel will actually measure 10" from outside edge-to-outside edge.
