Re: Boss 338 Wheels **GROUP BUY**

I didn't notice the deadline either. I'm slow and have not measured for fitment. Hope to see another round of GB.

Are there any 71-72 baggers out there with a pic of the 20in with 295/40's mounted?

It looks like there is enough interest to do a second round. I have 3 orders that came in after the deadline already so those will be pushed back for round two. I'll leave the ordering up for those still interested, it will probably be another week before the second run is ordered. So that gives you now through Thursday at 3PM EST April 2, 2010

Re: Boss 338 Wheels **GROUP BUY**

Order Placed....

Im always jerk around till it's to late...Thanks for taking a 2nd Round of Orders!


This will also give me some motivation to start working on my truck again!

For everyone elses info, not that you NEED anymore justification for buying these at such a great price......here's one more......I have a GOOD relationship with the local America's Tire. Between my uncles auto shop and us running in demolition derbys, we do ALOT of business there. I called them to see if they could even come close to this price, and he was like...BRO, for the first time....I cant touch it! That's a smokin deal!

Re: Boss 338 Wheels **GROUP BUY**

Boss's website only lists the 20x10 with a 5 on 5 bolt pattern. There is no 20x8.5 with a 5 on 5 listed. Can anyone confirm they do make them?

Yes, they definitely make them. If you look back a page or two, you'll see them installed on a blue '72 longbed. The regional distributor I talked to a few weeks ago had no idea why they aren't listed on the website but believes it's just an oversight as they are definitely available and in the ordering system.

Re: Boss 338 Wheels **GROUP BUY**

I know you guys are anxious, so here's the update...

I just got home from the Eagle Alloys sales office, the orders that were in by Thursday 3PM have been submit to Eagle for fulfillment. They are working on filling the order today, and they are expected to be ready for shipment by mid next week. When I make it back over there I'll submit the next batch of orders, and that batch will consist of the orders received after the cut off yesterday through the cut off this next Thursday.

Here's a picture I snapped at the warehouse on my phone of the eagle warehouse...

Re: Boss 338 Wheels **GROUP BUY**

its stock height right now, but i should be ordering the ece 4/6 drop in the next week or so...or I might do a cheap bagging, not sure what I wanna do. I think bagging maybe more expensive right now.

I'm also interested in what size tires are best for a bagged application. I'm leaning towards 20" wheels. Thanks in advance.

Fronts 245/40/20=27.7in
OR
*Front 245/45/20=28.7in

*Rear 295/40/20=29.5in

This* is what I plan to run on my bagged Blazer if I can get MY boss to O.K. a purchase.

Thursday is the deadline for getting in on the next round of orders. No guarantee if there will be a third round.

Re: Boss 338 Wheels **GROUP BUY**

I'm gonna do a 245/45/20 front, and try my best to sqeeze a 315/35/20 in the rear.....

Both Tires.
Side wall: 4.3 inch
Height: 28.7 inch

Its a pet peeve of mine to have the same side wall on tires.

If you are lowering your truck, not sure if you can without massaging fenders or mini tub. Hopefully other guys can tell you.
