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?

Holy cow, is that for real? It looks photochopped...or air bags? Either way it's pretty sick

Truck looks really good 1952ssr, that's one of the trucks I was thinking of.

Oh its real lol, he rides hella dumped everyday on megan coilovers pickin up reflectors when he changes lanes.

I hope you guys don't mind, whenever someone mentions these wheels his car always comes to mind. Isn't there a group buy goin on for these? 18x9.5 all the way around on my double nickel would look so good.

Actually, I mind.

I come to this site to see and discuss GM trucks. Ricers (if you must) belong in the Alternate Tinkerings forum. There are lots of pics of these wheels out there without looking at a Lexus.

I'll get off my soapbox now. Welcome to the forum, you mentioned a double nickel....?

The whole truck picture is of it with the 2wd rear, but, I have 2 inch adapters on it. The width should be the same as the 4x4.

Thanks for the info 1952ssr; I like the look of these wheels on your truck.
