Re: Boss 338 Wheels **GROUP BUY**
You think that you could have run a bigger tire? Say a 315/35/20??

Re: Boss 338 Wheels **GROUP BUY**
Yeah, I am trying to find some 1/2" spacers right now. Any recommendations on a dealer that can overnight them in 5x5 lug pattern?

Re: Boss 338 Wheels **GROUP BUY**
was going to wait on the chrome. but has anybody seen these grey rims on a silver truck? The price keeps trying to convince me they would look pretty good?

Re: Boss 338 Wheels **GROUP BUY**
1/2" spacers will require longer studs as well. I personally would not exceed 1/4" width for spacers (too much stress on the studs)....

Re: Boss 338 Wheels **GROUP BUY**
Do you see any issue using the adapters that have the studs on them (bolt the adapter on and then bolt the wheel to the adapter)

Re: Boss 338 Wheels **GROUP BUY**
Wouldn't use 'em on a 1500HP dragster, but they should be fine for anything street-driven.

You can't even start the threads with the 1/4" spacer, so either way you need em. The front was even questionable with no spacer, might consider longer studs on the front and back. I am looking at a 1" bolt on spacer with studs cause I think I have the room to move out at least an inch in the rear.

Re: Boss 338 Wheels **GROUP BUY**
sorry I must have confused you. I was asking if I could see pics of the panel with the rims on just to see how nice she looks :P

Re: Boss 338 Wheels **GROUP BUY**
No problem w/billet adapters which are different vs. aluminum 'spacers'. The issue w/using adapters is their minimum thickness is 1". If you can use that 1" they'd work. If you need less, you need a different plan.

Re: Boss 338 Wheels **GROUP BUY**
I just placed an order for a set of 20x8.5 and 20x10 chrome, should be about 2-3 weeks before they are sent out.

Re: Boss 338 Wheels **GROUP BUY**
Where'd you get that info? Last I heard there was no shipping estimate for chrome 20s. With none actually in the warehouses, don't be surprised if that 2-3 weeks turns into 2-3 months.

Re: Boss 338 Wheels **GROUP BUY**
not considering it myself but I knew someone running the coys 20X10's on a 67 (narrow) rear and they had the 1" adapters and it looked perfect as far as backspacing on those particular wheels and wanted to bring that thought out for those it might help.
