Boss 338's?
I've seen a few sets popping up on these trucks, I think they look great with the 20/18's. Does anybody have a set on a 47-54 that could share specifics such as backspacing, suspension, etc. Or even 20/18's in general?

Re: Boss 338's?
I bought a set for mine but have not put them on yet, my truck is still in pieces. Should have pictures up with the wheels on in the next few weeks. I got 18x8s and 18x9.5s since they had the offsets I needed.

Re: Boss 338's?
cool, what backspacing did you go with and what width rear end are you running?

Re: Boss 338's?
I'm running a S10 4X4 rear end (44" I think) and 2 inch spacers on the front hubs. Let me in on this I learned when I bought mine. If you are doing a S10 chassis you will HAVE to put at least a 1 inch spacer on the fronts, due to the cut of the wheels it WILL NOT fit over the S10 rotor hub. 20x10's have 6 inch and the 18x8's have 4 1/2 inch backspacing. I bought a 24" x 8 trailer fender and cut it in half for my mini-tubs.

Are both pics with a 4x4 rear end or is the first one with a 2 wheel drive rear? |

Re: Boss 338's?
Anyone got these on a 55-59? I have a set but I'm not at the point where I can mount them, but I think you'll need at least a 60" wide rearend to run the 20x10", what's the widest tires you can run on a 10" rim? I was told 305.

Re: Boss 338's?
I have 10" wide Coy wheels on my 56, 60" wide Camaro rearend, 5" backspacing. Fit the fender ok but you will need to do a little mini tub in the bed. Looks great, 275-40-20 tires
