Re: Boss 338 Wheels **GROUP BUY**
Here's a few teaser pics. My truck is a '71 (although it may look like 69-70), and 'should' have the wider rear in it. I haven't measured for sure. The 10" wide rim is about .5" hitting the inside bed lip, so spacers will be needed. Hope this helps for the rear. Fronts are next. Now to find some tires. My local guy can't get matching 295/40/20 and 255/40/20. I guess internet order.

Re: Boss 338 Wheels **GROUP BUY**
Anything from Boss in 20" 6x5.5 that would fit our trucks? At these price points it sure would be nice for all us 6 lugs boys that want 20's to get in on something. As much as I love billet wheels, $600-700/ea is a joke and it is impossible finding nice wheels for a decent price...those wheels look damn good!...

Re: Boss 338 Wheels **GROUP BUY**
tek970, I am in Houston too, and I will be getting the -2's, I'll let you know what we end up doing. First thought is that were gonna chuck the wheel up on a manual lathe, and just open up the wheel hub bore. But I'll keep an eye on the thread and post up what we end up doing.

Re: Boss 338 Wheels **GROUP BUY**
Really dumb question: what style lug nuts do these wheels take, the tapered seat (acorn) or shank style? Want to get some ordered ASAP.

Re: Boss 338 Wheels **GROUP BUY**
I cant remember what they are called, but I had a set on my integra's rim's. theyre shaped so a certain socket can only be used to take them off. That way you dont get hooligans getting any ideas of a quick theft. Thats what Im going with, even tho I live in the boonies and theyre really isnt much crime. Any wheel shop can get them if I remember right.

Re: Boss 338 Wheels **GROUP BUY**
I knew that was what you were talking about, I just assumed it would be acorn as most aftermarket wheels Ive owned had been. I was just showing those type of lug nuts....

Re: Boss 338 Wheels **GROUP BUY**
I have been trying to buy a set of the 338's two 18x8's and two 20x10's with a 5x4.75 bolt pattern in Chrome. I tried the audimated website and when it asked for the type of finish it only showed black or gray, no chrome. I have also pm'd sublvr72, I e-mailed him at the link on the first page, and I have also called and left a message on the phone on the first page. I would really like to get in on this buy but I'm not having any luck contacting anyone. I can be reached at scottscustompaint@bendcable.com, or please call me on my cell at 541 815 2157. or ofcourse PM me if you would like. Thanks Scott

Re: Boss 338 Wheels **GROUP BUY**
What a bummer, i bought a set of these wheels and they finally arrived today to my dealer 20x8.5 and 20x10 i got my tires mounted and brought them home only to figure out that the hub bore is wrong. If i get the correct bore for the front, are the back wheels going to look any different or will i have to swap them in too?
