Wrong offset on rear wheels?? I ordered boss 338 20x10 rears 18x8 fronts - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

trkfrk · 11-01-2010, 07:38 PM

real quick.. I ordered a set of 20x10 - 5 on 5 with a 20mm offset for the rear. the wheels showed up today and are not what I expected... I expected the big lip to be on the out side. seems like the offset is reversed. maybe I did not do enough research. sorry I do not have a picture ( I left them at Discount tire). The Boss web site shows only one part number. Can someone Please show me a picture and tell me where I screwed up?

I had to order the grays and send out for chrome. This shouldnt matter?? - Thanks

i dont think they offer an offset choice??

The rear 20x10's only come in one offset.
(6.225" backspace)
Did you try them on your truck to see what they looked like?
Most likely you will need a 1" or 1.250" spacer.
These wheels were designed for the 88-98 trucks in mind.
I assume you know all the problems related to the front wheels not fitting?

This is the best I have that shows the lip. They have some lip but not what it sounds like your looking for.

lolife99 is right. There are two loonnggg threads about putting these on 67-72's. They don't just bolt on.

I did not pick-up the wheels. Yes, Same thing I thought only one offset offered.. The part number right off of bossmotorsports.com is 3386-2050 / 20x10 5 on 5 20mm / 6.225. my only problem is Discount sent the wheels out to be chromed and they did not come back in the original box with the part number. I am thinking Boss sent a different part number. This is why I was hoping some one will post a picture reflecting this part number.. Thanks for your help...
