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

Okay, heres what I know about the 1" rotor setup. They both came on square body trucks, so when my truck was converted to front disc using square body front brakes and crossmember it had the 1" setup. Somewhere along the way I decided to get drop spindles, but found they only came for 1.25" rotor setups at that time. So i converted to 1.25 rotors, which Then I needed to get 1.25 calipers. Not such a big deal. Now they have drop spindles for 1" rotor setups, so it's really not that hard to go with a 1" setup. I'm sure the ECE stuff is nice, but you may be better served going to a junkyard and getting some squarebody parts, it may be easier and cheaper in the long run.

And yes it is alot of trouble going through all this for some wheels, but so is building a truck rather than buying one. We are all a glutton for punishment on this board!
