Got some new wheels: Boss 338's in 20x10 and 20x8.5
OK,... by now you have seen this sweet bagged '68 that I saw for sale in Des Moines Iowa, at the Goodguys event last weekend.
I really fell in love with the wheels. Member "hot trux" was with me and he thought he could get them,... since he is an Eagle Alloy/Boss Wheel dealer. So Yesterday he called about them and today he had them on his doorstep. (one day shipping from Nashville to central Missouri,... not bad!) Anyway,... they are 20x10 (6.250" bs) and 20x8.5 (5.250" bs) with the ever popular 5x5 bolt pattern. That's right,... they are out there! But there is a catch,... The front hub area has a problem. Like the Coys wheels,... there needs to be a little "clean up" on the disc rotor to get them to "seat" correctly. Also,... I'm not sure if the cheap plastic center cap, is deep enough. With the extremely cheap price of these wheels,... I'm going to try to make them work. (I may even have to machine a new set of billet centers, to get them to bolt on) We took one wheel out of the box and tried to set it on a stock rotor. The wheel were about 1/2" from seating against the rotor. I'll keep you posted on my progress. I'm stoked about this "economical alternative" to a Coys 20" wheel. UPDATE! 9-20-09 Go to page 12 (post # 225) THEY FIT!

Man Keith... those things are going to look killer!!!!
I see the shop truck taking on a whole new look, possibly even the '69. So much for no 5 on 5 bolt pattern....

Congrats on the wheels - I thought I read that they weren't going to make a 20" , but apparently they do! I am watching this thread as I haven't decided on wheel for my 68 yet.
These or the Coys probably?

It's not too late to call Stan @ ECE and get some 5-lug rotors and axles coming for your truck,... I think spacers would be required too make the 20x10's work on the "narrower" '69 rearend, though.

How do you think these would work on the No Life '69? Would it be too low?

I'm planning to freshen up a 454 for my red '69 swb truck project,... so there is no "tire money" yet. I originally bought these for my '86 Dropmember Project,... but they could end up on my '69.

N2billets red 68 Lucy was bagged w/2.5" dropped spindles. He ran 20x8.5's & a 255-40 w/buzzing only @ lower air settings. I bought a similar pkg for my 68 & thought WTH, I'll run them on my 74 for a little 'change'. They were positively a 'no-go' on the 74 @ roughly 5.5-6" front drop (static drop w/3" spindle & 1-coil removed). They buzzed the tops of the inner wheel-wells just poking down the alley.
