Re: Got some new wheels: Boss 338's in 20x10 and 20x8.5
Keith,
Thanks for your help on this. I spoke with a guy that distributes the American Eagle stuff today out of Ohio. He was pretty much a tool and advised me to put a spacer on it and the others are going to be available in a month or so. So bottom line, S.O.L. The cap is not an issue right now, the actual rotor flange bottoms out where the center hooks in. I am off about 1/2 in. I have a set of spacers, but was trying to avoid it. I read this entire post and looked for part numbers. Sorry if I missed it. If you come across the mfg or where you bought them, that would be a big help as well. I got these new 1 in rotors from a local CarQuest from a guy that actuallly knows cars/trucks w/out having to have the VIN to look up a part. |

You have to change spindles and calipers. No way around it. If your wheels are about 1/2" from seating on the rotor flange,... you have the 1.25" rotors. If you plan to lower it, just purchase the drop spindles for 1" rotors. I recommend Belltech. (they make both versions) Then,... just swap your calipers for some 1" calipers from your local parts store.

I got my 1" rotors from NAPA... Of course that is NAPA in Canada, so it may be different in the US..

What kind of link system is that I have never seen one set up like that.

Looks like the rear suspension from RideTech.

Re: Got some new wheels: Boss 338's in 20x10 and 20x8.5
Yeah its a "Cool Ride" front and rear full kit from Ride Tech ( ART ) for the 62 or 63 > 72 2wd trucks and blazers
It is a bolt on suspension that includes lots of grinding stock rivets off of the old components... Not too big of a deal as I have been grinding just as many bolts off the frame as rivets.. I can't wait to try it out... Check out ride tech's website as they have more detailed pics and prices.. KRis |

Re: Got some new wheels: Boss 338's in 20x10 and 20x8.5
Thanks, I'll have to go check it out. Anymore info on the wheels, oh, what happened to the 20x8.5 wheel with 5 on 5 bolt pattern they don't list it anymore.

Re: Got some new wheels: Boss 338's in 20x10 and 20x8.5
Question: I've got these wheels (18x8) for my 78 Blazer that already has drop spindles for 1.25" rotors. Would best bet be to have my rotors machined? I don't mind having it done since I have friends who run a machine shop. I just want to know if that is just as good an option (& def. cheaper) than having to purchase new spindles, rotors, etc.

Look at the pics I posted, showing the difference in the two rotors. The 1" rotors just barely work, and then you still have to clip the tabs on the center caps to clear the rotor dust cap. Everyone needs to wait on purchasing these wheels until the new wheel design comes out,... or plan on swapping to 1" rotors.

Nevermind, mrhino, I just saw your older post stating that you had to take a little length off the spindle. I'm assuming that you re drilled the hole for the cotter pin? Approx. how much did you remove of the top? Last edited by jam-bo383; 03-11-2010 at 04:52 PM. |

Re: Got some new wheels: Boss 338's in 20x10 and 20x8.5
What are your wheels, 18s or 20s?
What about tire size?

Re: Got some new wheels: Boss 338's in 20x10 and 20x8.5
I don't want this size, but I was just wondering for the guys that do.

Re: Got some new wheels: Boss 338's in 20x10 and 20x8.5
Just so you guys know, the 18x9.5's have a deeper lip than the 20x10's. My cousin bought a set for his S10 and we compared them. Just some food for thought for the guys that are looking for that real deep wheel in the rear.
