Re: Got some new wheels: Boss 338's in 20x10 and 20x8.5
If your salesman confirms that they will fit and will take them back if they don't fit...give it a try. I spoke with the SE Manager again Tuesday morning and they are still projecting that they will be ready by the end of the month. I would recommend waiting as the new design isn't suppose to need a spacer. I tried the old design on my '87 w/ the HD brakes (same size rotor as the '92 up 1500's) and it wasn't even close. It was going to take machining the wheel, the rotor, and a spacer. I wasn't going to go through all of that.

What size & finish? If I am doing something wrong, please tell me as I don't want to get removed from this website.

Re: Got some new wheels: Boss 338's in 20x10 and 20x8.5
I would not count on them taking them back. My wheels have not even been run and they told me "NO RETURN" even though they had a Fitment Guarantee on their website which has now seemed to have disappeared

Re: Got some new wheels: Boss 338's in 20x10 and 20x8.5
As an Eagle wheel dealer I have had these wheels and there are major conflicts with the caps and bore area on the wheels even on the newer 88-98 models they were supposedly designed for. Also the back spacing is to deep for the older trucks but using billet spacers will eliminate both problems and they are an awesome looking wheel.

Re: Got some new wheels: Boss 338's in 20x10 and 20x8.5
spoke with my dealer in portland Or. and seattle Wa. and they both gave me the same answer of around the end of the month or middle of next month. he also told me that there are only 17 sets of the "old" style left and they are "ready" for a new shipment of wheels. he told me that once they make revisions they will not make the "old" style anymore. and if one or two were the old style after recieving then to send it back on their dime.
WE CAN ONLY WAIT...

Re: Got some new wheels: Boss 338's in 20x10 and 20x8.5
I wonder if they are 'redesigning' the wheel if they will 'redesign' the price as well???

Re: Got some new wheels: Boss 338's in 20x10 and 20x8.5
I think that I will buy (I mean 'borrow') an auto zone brake rotor and dust cap and take it with me when I pick mine up........Knock the dust cap on the rotor and drop it in the wheel b4 I lay down my $$$$........then return the rotor & cap to the store. If it wont work that way, it just wont work.

Re: Got some new wheels: Boss 338's in 20x10 and 20x8.5
^^^ That is exactly what I did. Except I am actually replacing the front brakes when I put on the drop spindles

Re: Got some new wheels: Boss 338's in 20x10 and 20x8.5
Are they retooling the whole line or just the 20's, I think I want to go with 18's all around

Re: Got some new wheels: Boss 338's in 20x10 and 20x8.5
They are retooling the whole line. I am going with 18" as I pull a rather heavy ski boat on a regular occasion and don't want to risk "pinching" a tire on one of the rather questionable boat ramps that I use
![]() I will let everyone know as soon as I get a definite ETA. Cheers, Ed |
