Re: Boss 338 Wheels **GROUP BUY**
How did you make it to this thread without seeing the first post? Look for the bold PRICING heading.

Re: Boss 338 Wheels **GROUP BUY**
How much longer is the buy going on? Gotta convince my wife/boss to let me do this. Economics is what I will try to persuade her with.

EDIT: Specifically, I thought I'd share the deal I made. I found the best price at OnlineTires.com, which for me came to abut $691 shipped for the tires mentioned above. Then I called Discount Tire Direct and they offered to beat the price at $680 shipped. Then I went to my local Discount Tire (brick and mortar store) and told them what I'd been offered by DTD. They gave me the same price: $680 out the door with tax and all. But on top of that, there's a $60 BFG/Discount Tire rebate for the next couple of weeks, bringing my total cost to $620. Unless you're local to OnlineTires.com and don't have to pay shipping, I don't think you'll find a better price than that on BFGs.

Re: Boss 338 Wheels **GROUP BUY**
I'm still trying to purchase some of the Chrome 338's in the staggared set, 20x10's and 18x8's, with a 5x4.75 bolt pattern. There isn't an option on the website for this combo. I spoke with Sublvr on the phone and he was going to work on it but didn't have it up on the website before I had to go to work. I'll try again tommorrow.

Re: Boss 338 Wheels **GROUP BUY**
good news for those waiting for chrome...
They are starting to hit the warehouses. This set is 5x4.75. They don't have any 5x5 yet, but they expect them shortly! |

Re: Boss 338 Wheels **GROUP BUY**
Whoa there, pardner! That label says it's still revision -2. And I see the date of manufacture is 3/30, so it's not like it's old stock. WTF?

Re: Boss 338 Wheels **GROUP BUY**
I bet that is one of my rims I ordered today. 20x10's and 18x8's in a 4.75 bolt pattern. I have a 71 camaro subrame and a disk brake 9 inch so it should be fine for my 56. I'm totally stoked!!!!! I'm surprised no one else has ordered this combo, Sublvr72 had to add too the website to get these ordered.

Re: Boss 338 Wheels **GROUP BUY**
I have never bought, seen , used , a wheel spacer. Forgive my ignorance on the subject.
Question. Would longer studs be required on the rear when using a spacer? |

Re: Boss 338 Wheels **GROUP BUY**
the stock studs are ok. It is simply a 1/2 inch spacer that goes between the wheel and the hub. A conical lug nut has to be used instead of an acorn style. It has a shoulder to help keep it aligned. It worked for me but the best option is wait for the correct wheel, but i had tires already mounted and they told my dealer that there was only 1 of the correct wheel in the country friday. I did not require spacers on the rear so nothing changed there.

Re: Boss 338 Wheels **GROUP BUY**
Got my wheels installed. 20x10 with 295-35-20 and 20x8.5 with 255-35-20 Nitto Invo's. I had the same problem with the hub bore. My dealer gave me 1/2 inch spacers and conical lugs. I think they they look sweet. I wish they made them in a 22. I really wanted 22's in the rear but all the big name wheels are way too expensive!

Re: Boss 338 Wheels **GROUP BUY**
Is anyone else having issues with the new o-ring center caps not fitting that great? It seams the o-rings are to big and stretch out instead of tucking into the center bore like they should.
