If you mini-tubbed 1.75" & are running a 72 length housing, the 'math' says you should be good. I had 1.75" mini-tubs w/20x10" wheels (5.50" back spacing) using the shorter pre-70 housing & they fit. You're adding .750 each side on housing length & offsetting it w/similar additional back space for the wheels.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.

Re: Boss 338 Wheels **GROUP BUY**

So for my sake and everyone else watching this, the new design will fit the front? The rear will fit also on our trucks but will require a spacer depending on what year rear you have? Any mention of a group buy on spacers from the same guy that is ordering the wheels? Just thought I'd check. Thanks for all the info also.

You think that you could have run a bigger tire? Say a 315/35/20??
