Re: Got some new wheels: Boss 338's in 20x10 and 20x8.5
yes, i am talking about the seat on the acorn and the shank on the may style. So your saying use the acorn seat for the lugs on the Boss 338?

Re: Got some new wheels: Boss 338's in 20x10 and 20x8.5
Anyone know what size the studs are? I know its probably been answered many times....but since we're on the subject of lugs I figured I'd ask!

Re: Got some new wheels: Boss 338's in 20x10 and 20x8.5
I don't think they are acorn so I would look on the box or call boss.

Re: Got some new wheels: Boss 338's in 20x10 and 20x8.5
I called Summit to order my lugnuts, and had them check on the style before I ordered. The guy told me they were acorn style.
Edit: just called again and was told the same thing by another sales guy. So, acorn style it is.

Re: Got some new wheels: Boss 338's in 20x10 and 20x8.5
I think it was the temporary wheels I had on my brothers truck that were mag style. Sorry for any confusion!

Re: Got some new wheels: Boss 338's in 20x10 and 20x8.5
I gonna be nice but if you would like my number I'd be happy to chat with you. I have been on this board for 9 years and have given some really good advice. If you look at my post I never said its definitely not acorn and I corrected myself in 15 minutes. Did you not see me say sorry on the post before your smart comment. You might also reread my original post!

Re: Got some new wheels: Boss 338's in 20x10 and 20x8.5
People are cutting down the tabs on the center caps for the front 18s (and pre-rev-3AA 20s). There are pictures somewhere in this thread, I believe.

I can barely see 'em. What a waste -- better send them to me.

Re: Got some new wheels: Boss 338's in 20x10 and 20x8.5
Thanks to picks from Hickup Pickup and a little R&D I think I have retooled the front rotors for my son's 86 Silverado. I am going to make a drawing and post it here too. Just in case anyone else buys some of the older revisions of these rims. Hopefully all this works, I will post results this weekend.
Here is what I did: Step one test fit (nope not even close). ![]() ![]() ![]() Step 2 build a "spindle" fixture: ![]() Step 3 Started cutting the rotor: ![]() ![]() Step 4 Test fit the wheel till I came up with this: ![]() Step 5 Cut off the dust cover, made some new end caps, welded up and painted to finish. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |

Re: Got some new wheels: Boss 338's in 20x10 and 20x8.5
According to Sublvr72 "group buy thread",... the new -3AA wheels need the same "rotor" mods as the old -2AA wheels.
So what exactly did AE do when they re-tooled these wheels?

Re: Got some new wheels: Boss 338's in 20x10 and 20x8.5
IIRC, the hub bore is larger in places, but not where it needs to be for our older trucks.
