Look at the very first Post

Well, after reading this thread I decided not to buy Boss 338 wheels, but I loved the look of them so I bought these, Ridler 695s in grey with a machined lip and I'm glad to say they fit my 1.25 rotors with no mods! Here's a couple quick pics. I checked fit on the stock 1985 GM rotors that are on my truck and a brand new 1.25 rotor from NAPA, these wheels fit both rotors perfectly, no need to flatten the dust cap either

Wheels are 18x8 0 offset.

nice

k5hart · 08-23-2011, 08:55 PM

Those look exactly like 338s. Nice!

brossow · 08-23-2011, 08:56 PM

Are they made in USA?

How about the rear wheels. Will they fit without spacers?

mcbassin · 08-23-2011, 09:39 PM

Those Ridlers look great. What kind of price compared to the Boss 338?

Leadfoot Lambert · 08-23-2011, 10:03 PM

Ok here's the deal, made in China sorry [I would have bought American if they would have fit] same price or less than the 338s I got mine from Steve at Mr wheel deal [google him] Less than $600 for the set shipped! Yes they fit the rear with NO spacers

**rob32472** · 08-23-2011, 10:17 PM

how do they fit on the front?

VA72C10 · 08-23-2011, 10:38 PM

first picture is the front

VA72C10 · 08-23-2011, 10:39 PM

But it is a 65 truck also...

Leadfoot Lambert · 08-23-2011, 10:40 PM

They are on the front with a 1.25 rotor in the first 2 pics, they fit with no mods or spacers.

Leadfoot Lambert · 08-23-2011, 10:42 PM

The truck is a 65 with a 72 rear end and a complete front frame clip from a 85 C10 with 1.25 rotors

Got any pics of the rear? I know you said they fit without a spacer but I wonder how far in/out they sit in relation to the wheel well. The 338 will fit on my 73 up rear diff. but require a spacer to make it look "right"

What a shame that the Chinese can get it right and the American company can't, not even with their own design.

**lolife99** · 08-24-2011, 06:56 AM

Looks like "zero offset" is the only offset on the wheels.
That will be a better offset for the 20x10's.
(5.50" backspacing)

Ackattack · 08-24-2011, 01:04 PM

Here are my 338s - 3AA 20x8.5" all around

My suspension is (i believe) a 77 C-10 setup. Still had to grind on the front rotor.

The rear looks like it would have enough clearance without spacers, but I don't like the way they set inboard of the fronts, so I just ordered 1" spacers. I did the same thing on the TTIIs I had on my 72 GMC.
