Re: Boss 338 Wheels **GROUP BUY**
What about a illustration showing how the 20x10 will fit on the rear of the trucks. Whether it be a 67-70 or 71-72. Something showing how much wheel will be inside, and how much lip will be on the outside. Can someone draw this up?

The 5.50"BS was about the max I could use on my 74 (w/stock 74 12-bolt). Again, any more back-spacing would require mini-tubbing. There might be a slight chance they'd fit but it would be close.

Re: Boss 338 Wheels **GROUP BUY**
Do these wheels have too much back space, if you have air suspension? I have bags on my trailing arms and bags in the front

Spacers will be required with a stock rearend on the 67-72 and 73-87 trucks. The 88-98 trucks will be fine.

With the spacer on the rear will the tires and wheels still fit inside the wheel wells?

Re: Boss 338 Wheels **GROUP BUY**
on one of the pages someone mentioned that they used 1 inch spacers on a 20 inch wheel.

Re: Boss 338 Wheels **GROUP BUY**
that's the thing about these trucks I am conveting from the 6 lug on a 68 to the 5 lug just because the wheels I had priced out were 3500 bucks for a simular wheel as these no tires just bolt on and go I really don't like spacers but you have to do what you have to do

Re: Boss 338 Wheels **GROUP BUY**
I'm pretty sure you won't need spacers to run the 20x10's, but I'm sure someone who has them can clarify this.

Re: Boss 338 Wheels **GROUP BUY**
Look here:
http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...352320&page=12 Go down to Benji's post,it doesn't look like he is running a rear spacer on the 20x10's. He may be running a 1/4" spacer like he did on the front but I can't tell for sure by the pics. We will know for sure in a few days.

Re: Boss 338 Wheels **GROUP BUY**
The 20x8.5's will be fine for the front, if they address the "hub fitment issues".
The rear will need spacers. Everyone is so "blinded" by the cheap price,... that they just forget all the other stuff. Most people running Coys 20x10's have a choice of 5" or 5.5" backspace. These wheels have a 6.225" backspace. Get out your tape measures and check out your trucks for yourself.

Re: Boss 338 Wheels **GROUP BUY**
Here's a quote from Benji:
"here is my 72 bagged, still have to cut out the front fenders and tube out the back to it will go lower" I think he means tub out the back. I just measured up a truck with 20x10's with the narrower 67-70 rearend housing. His backspace numbers were 4.75 inches. These wheels are 6.225" BS. Good Luck guys.

To be clear: There is no substitute for measuring your own setup and determining exactly what you need. I'm curious, Keith ... since you started the original behemoth Boss 338 thread, do you know what the owner of the truck you photographed did with the rear wheels? And you've got these wheels, too, so what have you done about the rear backspacing? Sorry if this is answered elsewhere, but I can't take time at work to read through the 28 pages in that thread plus search through your other posts elsewhere. ![]()

Re: Boss 338 Wheels **GROUP BUY**
I think an 'easy fix' for this backspacing 'issue' would be to just order 20x8.5 all the way around and not have ANY issue with backspacing, at least that's what I plan on doing.
Plus it makes good for rotating tires, ![]()

Re: Boss 338 Wheels **GROUP BUY**
Excuse my ignorance...why would someone order different backspacing between the front and back? Can someone give me a quick and simple explanation of what backspacing is? Is it to do with how close the lip of wheel gets to the fender? Would either of these wheels fit with a stock 72 2wd rear end?

I haven't mounted my wheels on a truck yet. My 69 is still 6-lug. I plan to run spacers,... I always have. I think without them they will contact the wheel tubs.(especially with the 67-70 rearend). My blazer has the wider 71-72 rearend and I have a 5.5" bs wheel on it,... and it is close on the inside. No room for another .725" of backspace.
