Anyone know if it would be beneficial to get longer studs for the rear? I'm getting new axels anyway so it would help then I'll do it. Posted via Mobile Device

Re: Got some new wheels: Boss 338's in 20x10 and 20x8.5
So the backspace is now changed and should work? No other fittment issues? Was going to get the ridler 695 but now maybe these.

5x5 bolt pattern wheels are still 14mm offset on the 8.5's and 20mm offset on the 10's, according to Boss wheel website. I think that is still 5.25" BS and 6.225" BS.

Re: Got some new wheels: Boss 338's in 20x10 and 20x8.5
Guys, seriously you owe it to yourself to check out the showwheels streeter. VERY Similiar, and IMO better looking. Bolts up and looks great. If I remember correctly cheaper too?
No shots with body on, and I don't have the rears yet but check this, and remember I BOLTED IT ON:

Re: Got some new wheels: Boss 338's in 20x10 and 20x8.5
Couple of places on eBay that has the 5x5 20x10 listed as 0 offset at 5.5 backspacing. If that's correct, it should work, right?

![]() I will say the painted area has a few very small blemishes, which on a walkby you wouldn't notice. If you were a show car guy, you'd notice. For me on a really nice driver, for the cost I couldn't care less. If I cared, I'd fork out the $$$ for Boyd.

You don't need longer studs for the rear, but the front, I put in studs that were about a 3/8" longer than the original ones.

Re: Got some new wheels: Boss 338's in 20x10 and 20x8.5
I know this is an old thread but no sense starting a new one about it. Wondering if anyone has followed up with these. Heard from a tire shop and Mr. Wheel Deal there is a new revision for the rear end (20x10) that is -2 offset.

Because Boss/AEW doesn't do anything the way you would expect a company to do things. Nice products despite terrible business decisions.

Re: Got some new wheels: Boss 338's in 20x10 and 20x8.5
Oh and FYI to all steve at Mr. Wheel Deal will match prices as well as discount tire. With that said i got a quote from him at 750 for the staggered black face 20s and found a place in PHX that sold the set out the door for 699 and he beat it at 689 with lugs and shipping included. Went to discount and they matched the price haha so find the cheapest deal and go local with them.

Re: Got some new wheels: Boss 338's in 20x10 and 20x8.5
Yeah I ordered and received these wheels already. I just haven't mounted them yet. They are 20x10 in the 5.5 backspacing but looks like they just added a bunch of material to the back of the wheel... In essence pretty much like using a spacer. No lip gained.

Re: Got some new wheels: Boss 338's in 20x10 and 20x8.5
Thanks for the visual i guess thats the quickest way to go about fixing it. some more lip would have been nice, least i know i don't have to spend another hundred on spacers.
