Belltech spindles and Boss 338s

[UKNOWME]

Anyone using Belltech spindles with 20x8.5 Boss 338s 5.25 backspace? I've already ordered my drop kit but read lately the Belltech spindles push the wheel out a little further than other spindles. I know 5.25 is borderline as it is.

You will have to roll the lip of the fender. I did. My truck is dropped with bell tech 2" spindles/2" coils and a flip kit in the rear. I'm positive that my 338's are 5.25" bs but I can check when I get home.

Just curious... Did you roll your fenders professionally or old school with a baseball bat?

Old school! First I rolled them with a baseball bat then I tweaked them a little with a dead blow hammer.

And my rims are 20x8.5 with 5.25 BS

I've only rolled fenders once and it cracked the paint. Did I do something wrong?

I started with the narrowest end that I could fit into the wheel well and slowly moved towards the thicker end. I probably rolled it 10 times per wheel well. I also used a wooden bat. I read somewhere that wood was better than aluminum. Probably a hot rod magazine.

Thanks for the tip

The only time I`ve "rolled the lips" I took my cut off wheel and made several relief cuts the whole length of the lip and used a hammer to roll one section at a time. Never had a issue with it this way. Never tried a bat, always thought it would be too easy to bow the fender out this way.

I was wondering if that way would work
