Well, after reading this thread I decided not to buy Boss 338 wheels, but I loved the look of them so I bought these, Ridler 695s in grey with a machined lip and I'm glad to say they fit my 1.25 rotors with no mods! Here's a couple quick pics. I checked fit on the stock 1985 GM rotors that are on my truck and a brand new 1.25 rotor from NAPA, these wheels fit both rotors perfectly, no need to flatten the dust cap either :metal::metal::metal: Wheels are 18x8 0 offset.

How about the rear wheels. Will they fit without spacers?

Those Ridlers look great. What kind of price compared to the Boss 338?

Ok here's the deal, made in China sorry [I would have bought American if they would have fit] same price or less than the 338s I got mine from Steve at Mr wheel deal [google him] Less than $600 for the set shipped! Yes they fit the rear with NO spacers

But it is a 65 truck also...

They are on the front with a 1.25 rotor in the first 2 pics, they fit with no mods or spacers.

Re: Boss 338 Wheels **GROUP BUY**
 
The truck is a 65 with a 72 rear end and a complete front frame clip from a 85 C10 with 1.25 rotors

Got any pics of the rear? I know you said they fit without a spacer but I wonder how far in/out they sit in relation to the wheel well. The 338 will fit on my 73 up rear diff. but require a spacer to make it look "right"

What a shame that the Chinese can get it right and the American company can't, not even with their own design. :mad:

Looks like "zero offset" is the only offset on the wheels.
That will be a better offset for the 20x10's.
(5.50" backspacing)

Here are my 338s - 3AA 20x8.5" all around

My suspension is (i believe) a 77 C-10 setup. Still had to grind on the front rotor.

The rear looks like it would have enough clearance without spacers, but I don't like the way they set inboard of the fronts, so I just ordered 1" spacers. I did the same thing on the TTIIs I had on my 72 GMC.
