Re: Got some new wheels: Boss 338's in 20x10 and 20x8.5
Yes. Order at your own risk.
Many people on here have been doing the "leg work" to get correct info out to members like me. The problem is with the wheels on the front rotors. If you don't mind running spacers on the front,... you will be fine. BUT,... the track width is already wider up front,... you're only going to make that issue worse.

Re: Got some new wheels: Boss 338's in 20x10 and 20x8.5
I have a sort of off topic question. How hard would this finish be to replicate on a different wheel? (the color) And what would be the best way to apply it? (paint, powder coat, crayons, etc.)

I am absolutely positive that the 18" wheels are also being retooled! I am also going this route and have been in weekly contact with the South East Regional Manager for BOSS/American Eagle wheels and have been posting his updates here.

Difficulty depends on your skills and equipment. Best medium would be powdercoat, IMHO.

Re: Got some new wheels: Boss 338's in 20x10 and 20x8.5
^^^ wait until they get them out and we can confirm that they will fit without issue or at least minimal issue before we consider this. I have discussed this with some contacts that I have made, but I am not at liberty to sell anything on this site so I won't be the one to make the final offer. Let's just hope they will fit...this time

Re: Got some new wheels: Boss 338's in 20x10 and 20x8.5
Nope...still no new info. I called yesterday, but the Regional Manager is in Puerto Rico at their warehouse there and won't be back until the beginning of next week. So, all I got from the warehouse manager is..."I don't know". Awesome

Re: Got some new wheels: Boss 338's in 20x10 and 20x8.5
man I just called a place online and he says the 20x8.5s are available for my truck but the 20x10s are no where to be found (back ordered).
I thought the issue was with the Fronts? LOL Man I want these...to bad it looks like everyone else does too |

Re: Got some new wheels: Boss 338's in 20x10 and 20x8.5
I bet there are TON of 20x8.5's available. Mainly because they don't fit any disc rotor for the front of these old trucks.
I would still wait for a "CORRECT" part number, of the new designed wheels,... before I would risk purchasing any.

Re: Got some new wheels: Boss 338's in 20x10 and 20x8.5
Ha,... I wish I could.
I'm getting ready to start back on the '86 Dropmember truck,... and I need these wheels for it. I wish Boss would get them into production.

Supposedly...Supposedly they will begin to be available starting the end of next week. My 2 18x8" for the front are scheduled for delivery to the warehouse on Thursday of next week. I will be standing there with a rotor in hand when they arrive...be assured!!!

Re: Got some new wheels: Boss 338's in 20x10 and 20x8.5
so if I want to order these, can I just go into America's Tire and order or is it something that has to be a special order?
