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

Ok,... a little update from me.
I wanted to post pics of my 338's mounted.

I hammered the dust cap flat, just in case it hit.
(now I don't think I would have had to).
The clips on the plastic Boss wheel center cap still needed a sliight trim.
The picture shows all of them trimmed except one.
(To show how little needs to be removed)

Everything fit fine after that.
I did put a small dab of silcone on each clip, just for the heck of it.
All of this trouble seems worth it (to me) to get cheap wheels,... but it's far from a "bolt on" wheel.

Another issue I recently found,... is the recessed holes for the lug nuts are really small.
They may be fine for a 7/16" lug nut,... but the 1/2" lug nuts required for our trucks,... seem to make it really tight getting a socket inside the hole.
I used a (3/8 drive) 13/16" socket and it was still hard to get the lugs inside the recessed holes.
