I know I have seen the "Boss 338" thread. That thread has lots of useful information and pictures. Has anyone started a thread for the US Mags Ramblers? This is about the only picture I have found. Please post your C10 pics and any useful info you might have.

I heavily considered the Rambler, in the end went with something a little different.

FWIW, the 18" version of these has the same issue that the BOSS wheels had. The center doesn't quite fit over the disc brake hub. I had to grind down my hub to make them fit.

Also, the 9.5" wheel fits pretty good up front. It clears fairly well for normal driving, but during hard cornering at full lock, the inner lip rubbed the lower control arms. I simply removed about a 2-3" section of the rolled lip of the lower control arms.

Truck is in paint so the wheels wont be on for a bit.

These are the "as cast" versions powder coated black.

Front 18x8 getting 255/45/18
Rear 18x9.5 getting 295/40/18

About how much meat did you have to grind off you hub to get the wheels to fit? What's your clearance like on the rear? Wide axle? One more...what's your drop? Looks perfect!

Maybe 1/16". The problem is that the hub on the factory rotors are rough cast and have only been machined at the base of the brake surface. They're actually uneven all around. I'm not sure if this is an issue with replacement rotors, but my truck still had original 72 GM rotors. I just ground it down with a grinder and flap wheel until the wheels fit. The correct way would be to take the rotors to a machine shop and have them turned on a lathe.

Yes, I have a wider 72 axle.

The drop when I installed the wheels was 4.5/6.75. The new suspension system should put me about 5/7 or so.

Just some added info. I got some Stop Tech drilled and slotted rotors and they fit in the 18" wheel.
