Do you think there would be a problem with an 18x5 rim or just the 20's

Re: Got some new wheels: Boss 338's in 20x10 and 20x8.5
I applaud your persistance in this endeavor. That being said, will the center caps attached w/silicone be able to withstand the heat generated by front disc brakes & remain attached?

Re: Got some new wheels: Boss 338's in 20x10 and 20x8.5
I will be puting a nitrogen infused intercooler to disipate the generated heat transduced through a ridgid Kenuter valve perpetuated into a Flux capacitor.thus cooling the center cap.
I think the PLASTIC cap would melt long before the silicone.

Re: Got some new wheels: Boss 338's in 20x10 and 20x8.5
ok 20x10 all the way around
basic mods front 1/4 spacer and longer studs rear 1.25 inch spacer (for look only) machined the center of the front wheel larger(don't really know if that helped) machied the rotor where the dust cap is (machied down to the race) turning problems......none dust cap used......no if i would have had the rotor machined down and machined thiner, as i seen someone else do no spacer would have been needed center cap moded..no spindel type western chassie 2.5 mod the spindal.....no looked bad ass.....................................................YES |

Re: Got some new wheels: Boss 338's in 20x10 and 20x8.5
Would these wheels fit a large GM car rotor that has 5x5 (what was that, Caprice or Roadmaster?) And if so, will the car rotor work on our truck with a bearing change?

Did a quick search Rock Auto for this idea. They list the same Raybestos part number for the rotors for the 1978-1990 Caprice (along with some Buick and Cadillac models) and the 1981-1987 Chevy/GMC 1/2 ton pickups. Same issue with the 71-72 C10 and the 71-76 Caprice and Caprice Classic. So, this looks like this would not work any better...

These are nice looking wheels. Not nice enough to jump through the hoops required to run them w/1/2 ton truck rotors IMO.

Re: Got some new wheels: Boss 338's in 20x10 and 20x8.5
ScotI dont take things so seriously, My point being you have little choice in the matter if you insist on running this wheel ( i am already committed), I feel you probably stand the same chance in loosing the cap while siliconed on as you do with the weak clips they come with.

Re: Got some new wheels: Boss 338's in 20x10 and 20x8.5
Haha, this is a good thread. Thanks for all the pics and info on these. It looks like you've helped us all on these. I'm curious too, what are these wheels designed for? They do look good, just is it worth saving a few bucks to go through all this, or just get some coys with a little less problems?

Neither should you. I edited my response to better portray the mindset.

Re: Got some new wheels: Boss 338's in 20x10 and 20x8.5
it seems like quite an amount of work to get these wheels to fit but at the end you will be unique...

Re: Got some new wheels: Boss 338's in 20x10 and 20x8.5
can you advise how much was machined from the rotor snout.

Re: Got some new wheels: Boss 338's in 20x10 and 20x8.5
Jbham88 I simply machined them until they fit taking care to keep as much material as possible around the race ares , This is why I suggest the coning. I can tell you the end of the snout was machined down to the same size as the aftermarket replacement cap and it only has about 1/32 of an inch clearance in the wheel.
