Re: Got some new wheels: Boss 338's in 20x10 and 20x8.5
Benji,
Looks good, but I have a question. In the picture you show of the spacer, the spacer is off center of the rotor (due to the slotting of the spacer holes). How do you ensure that the spacer is centered when mounting the wheels? It seems that the front would have an unbalancing if the spacer isn't centered carefully. What did you do to make sure the spacer was centered? Shawn

Very nice looking truck, Benji.
What size tires are you running?

Re: Got some new wheels: Boss 338's in 20x10 and 20x8.5
Well i centered the spacer on the rotor and used a special glue, forgot the name of it, but once you bolt on the wheel the spacer goes no where. As far as tires, im running 275-40-20 on the rear and 255-35-20 in front, i still need to cut the front fenders and modify my bed to go lower when i slam the bags, but thanks for all the comments guys..

Hey Benji, your truck looks GREAT!!!
And you can use Gorilla Snot to hold the spacer in place...I've used it with great success. |

Re: Got some new wheels: Boss 338's in 20x10 and 20x8.5
any pictures of your rotors before/after you shaved them down? How much does something like this cost to do?
MAN I WANT THESE WHEELS EVEN MORE NOW!! |

Re: Got some new wheels: Boss 338's in 20x10 and 20x8.5
Hi folks, FNG here in Virginia. I found the forum by searching on the (black) Boss 338 wheels.
I just bought this 1997 Tahoe, and from what I gather; I could have a problem trying to get the Boss 338 18x8 to fit on my front axle; correct? I am going to do 18x8s all the way around as I plan for this truck to be a driver with a lot of rubber on each corner. I just ordered a single 18x8 through a friend of mine & a set of 4 knock-offs. (They are only sold in a set of 4.) I plan to do some test fitting with the one wheel. I have BellTech drop spindles and drop springs, but the drop springs are coming off this week and stock spring are going back in. I don't want the raked look. Does anyone have any more info or experience they can share? Thanks in advance! Last edited by Sydwayz; 11-01-2009 at 11:09 PM. |

Re: Got some new wheels: Boss 338's in 20x10 and 20x8.5
That's correct, unless somehow you get "lucky" and have different rotors than everyone else. The design is being reworked to open up the back, but now it's been pushed back until later this month. I'd hold off until you can be sure you're getting the new design for all four corners (rather than buying two now for the back, for example, which would prevent you from rotating your tires in the future).

Re: Got some new wheels: Boss 338's in 20x10 and 20x8.5
Not completely relevant, or the best picture, but my sister saw this car when she was in Asheville this weekend and snapped a pic of it. I was looking at the picture and noticed the wheels looked like Boss 338s so I figured I'd post it.

20's with a 45 series is plenty of meat to drive every day imo

45-series rubber on 18's will work on most set-ups if 18" wheels are acceptable.
