Will these wheels fit 68??

I am fixing to order new wheels and tires for my 68 short box. Before I do any ordering I want to make sure I have all my ducks in a row. I plan on running Toyo Proxes STII Front, 255/40/20 Rear, 295/40/20

I am wanting to run the Ridler 695 20" as described below. Will this wheel work with the following specs??? I think i'm concerned with the hub bore issues.

Yes sir it does. But was talking to a local wheel shop and they said the 83 hub bore would not work on my truck.

If the hub bore is the only issue and you're set on running those particular wheels, maybe turning down the front hubs may be an option. All of us that are running the Boss 338's had to do this.

I am not exactly sure if the hub bore will be an issue just wanting to make sure before ordering them. Do you guys running the 338's remember the bore on that rim?
