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

test

I typed a nice reply before, and it wouldn't post. I will edit this if it works.
about time.

I have a set of 20x8.5 boss 338 rims on my 86 c10 with 5x5 (127 mm x5) bolt pattern. The ONLY mod I had to do was a slight denting of the dust cap. Since my truck has a drop spindle and drop spring setup on the front, they do hit the inner fenderwell on tight turns and big dips in the road, nothing major. A little sheet metal fabwork and the problem should be solved (getting set up for bags anyway). My only suggestion would be to buy 20x10 for the rear. The rear is to short and the track from the rear to the front looks odd. The rear tires are inset compared to the front. Possible corrective behavior would be to:
#1- install a wider rear ($$$)
#2- install spacers (YUCK)
#3- install 20x10 for rear

I like the last option, but will wait until I have the rear bag mounts and setup installed.
