Thanks.
I like the grey centered wheels with the bronze paint.
Just not these wheels.

I may have to take you up on that.
They will probably end up on my red '69 swb.
But I'll have to switch it to 5-lug first.

Did you have to modify them 338's to get them to fit? I thought I heard somewhere they don't have the exact backspacing or something? Maybe I am wrong, they look damn nice on that truck though!

I have 73-87 Light Duty spindles with 1" rotors.
And a Dropmember up front.
They fit perfect.

Good question, I'll look and see what I can find out.

Edit: I googled 20 inch salt flats and found this site. There's not much info there or on the American Racing website, but maybe they can email something out.
This site has 20X8 and 20 X9.5
