Re: Got some new wheels: Boss 338's in 20x10 and 20x8.5
How are the center caps held on ......? O-rings or Plastic clips. Plastc clips are the early wheel and O-ring is the Revised wheel. The part # you listed is a 338 wheel.

That wheel still has the 82.80mm bore size so you will still have to mod the front rotor more than likely , unless it is a light duty rotor front which it could be on an 82. Then they will just bolt on. |
Re: Got some new wheels: Boss 338's in 20x10 and 20x8.5
it has 1" rotors and i was wanting to stay around 28" tall but this is all new to me but all the info is greatly appreciated thanks

This is what I would do also. If you get on tirerack.com you can compare sizes of tires and wheel widths etc. |
Re: Got some new wheels: Boss 338's in 20x10 and 20x8.5

Re: Got some new wheels: Boss 338's in 20x10 and 20x8.5
For you guys who are posting that you installed without issues, please be sure to include what rotors you're running up front. For years now we've been battling this false impression that these are bolt-on wheels, which they still are not except in rare circumstances - namely for the relatively few trucks running light-duty or aftermarket rotors. Thanks! :)

Re: Got some new wheels: Boss 338's in 20x10 and 20x8.5
Wouldnt know the difference in rotors or what to look for but the rep from Boss told me they had such a demand for this wheel on these older trucks that they re tooled the wheel. He gauranteed me they would fit and didnt ask a thing about the rotors.

Re: Got some new wheels: Boss 338's in 20x10 and 20x8.5

Yes they do fit 1" rotors with no mods. But I personally have put the rev.3 wheel ON 2 DIFFERENT TRUCKS NOW WITH 1-1/4 THICK ROTORS. One is a 68 with an 86 suburban crossmember bolted under it. (My own personal truck with what appear to be original GM Rotors) and the other is my cousins 72 swb truck.( It does have NAPA Brand relacement rotors on it.) Now I can say they will not fit my 78 2wd Blazer with 1-1/4 rotors though. |

Never said I thought the problem was solved....... Not trying to argue about it either . Just saying there is light at the end of the tunnel. They are getting closer to making a wheel that will bolt onto these trucks.
I personally have measured the snouts on some of the rotors and there are some variations in them. If the rotor snout measures 2-1/2" accross the wheel will fit , If it is much larger than that they will not. Again I am not trying to argue .....Just saying don't give up on them yet , they are getting closer. My rotors on my 68 truck absolutely look 100% original GM. and the wheels fit snugly, but are not forced or tightened down to seat them, THEY FIT LIKE THEY SHOULD. THEY HAVE BEEN MEASURED .....THEY ARE 1-1/4 rotors from an 86 suburban |
Re: Got some new wheels: Boss 338's in 20x10 and 20x8.5
I think what brossow is trying to say,... is that Boss/AE wheels hasn't addressed the problem since the "3AA" wheel revision that didn't even come close to addressing the problem.
brossow and I have been talking about these wheels since I started this thread in 2009. The truth is,... the variation in 1-1/4" rotor hub dimensions, (be it aftermarket or oem),... is the only way these wheels are a true "bolt-on" with the HD rotors. No way is Boss continuing to make improvements to the hub design issues of these wheels. The only improvement is a 20x10 wheel with a 5.5" BS. |
