Well either way I'm in no hurry, my truck is not running yet. But at least it will look good sitting in the garage with the new shoes (When they arrive)

Sorry if I missed this but can you get any bolt pattern on the group buy? I need 5 on 4.75.

Strictly speaking, the group buy was intended to be limited to what is listed in the first post. Having said that, send a PM to Sublvr72 and see what he can do for you. :)

Re: Boss 338 Wheels **GROUP BUY**
 
Yeah I noticed the website only lists 5x5 and 5x4.5. Ill shoot him a message anyway. Thanks.

Well, I just ordered a 1" bolt on spacer for the rear set of 20x10's, I'll let you know how they work out and post pics once they are on. They will hopefully be here Friday.

Man, I'll tell you though, these wheels look really nice on our trucks. I just have the fronts on but they change the whole truck.

And I am stock height in the front, and 2" drop in the rear and I kind of like the way it sits/looks now, I'll have to think if I want to drop it, although I am sure all of you will say DROP IT!!

Wild,

It was like $69 plus shipping and Tax cause he is in CA, it totaled around $90 for a set of two. They are the billet bolt on type.

So it will set me at 20x10 with 5.25" backspacing, I think it will be just right, or close.

Got em at www.ezaccessory.com

You can get 1" spacers (that look identical to what you got) for $60 shipped on eBay. Here's one example: http://tinyurl.com/ylxtdgr. Not rubbing it in -- just trying to save someone else some money. :)

Wildstreak 03-24-2010 07:30 PM

Re: Boss 338 Wheels **GROUP BUY**
 
thats the ones I was goin to go with brossow. I was just curious as to what he had gotten and how they looked.

Brent,

Yeah, I talked to them but they were going to ship them from an east coast warehouse and I am in Cali, I didn't want to wait a week to put my rears on so I opted to get them from this guy cause he is in Ca, I should have them by Friday...I hope.

I am pretty sure the ones on ebay are the same as the ones I ordered so I would go for them.

Good call Brent.

Edit: Whoops, I talked to the seller CJBargains not that guy in the link, I thought they were the same.

Man I am so tempted. The wife just rolled her eyes since she knows I have a full set of 15x8 rally's and a staggered set of slot mags 15x7 & 15x8. I think I am becoming a wheel whore. :D

Less than 24 hours to decide... clock is ticking....

Re: Boss 338 Wheels **GROUP BUY**
 
I was hoping that someone would say that they still don't fit so I could save my money, but......theses are made in the u.s.a. right? The patrioctic thing to do would be to buy a set to support are fellow americans. Right? I mean, what else would be a better thing to do in todays economy, but to boost the economy a little more. Right? Come on guys talk me into it!

That's why you (1) keep your parts inventory to yourself and (2) ask forgiveness rather than permission. :D

Be sure you have a state selected when calculating your shipping. If you don't, only the UPS options will show as pictured below.

You'll want to call or PM Sublvr72 for an international order. I'm sure he doesn't have that set up in his ordering system.

I can do Canada, I believe shipping is around $65 a wheel. If you are ok with that then give me a call and I can setup an order.

You are right about that brother AND not to mention my truck is down to the frame right now and she didn't give me the "why buy them, you can't even use them now" rebuttal! :lol:

Just wanted to give you guys an update, I got my 1" spacers today and mounted the rears and they sit and fit perfect. Nice wide stance in the rear, but still inside the fender. I'll post up some pics this evening.

Now I need to pull them off again and paint my rotors, drums and calipers, or maybe I have a good excuse to buy new calipers now :lol:

Can't remember and too busy to dig through old posts -- what year rear do you have? Wondering about width. :)
