Do you see any issue using the adapters that have the studs on them (bolt the adapter on and then bolt the wheel to the adapter)

Wouldn't use 'em on a 1500HP dragster, but they should be fine for anything street-driven.

The panel is a 69 so I'm still running a 6x5.5 BP, I don't have any pics but I can pull a wheel off if you really want to see it.

sorry I must have confused you. I was asking if I could see pics of the panel with the rims on just to see how nice she looks :P

He doesn't have the Boss 338 wheels on the panel truck -- just spacers with different wheels is what he meant, I believe. Only way to put 338s on that panel (short of a 5-lug conversion) would be to set 'em on the hood.

No problem w/billet adapters which are different vs. aluminum 'spacers'. The issue w/using adapters is their minimum thickness is 1". If you can use that 1" they'd work. If you need less, you need a different plan.

I just placed an order for a set of 20x8.5 and 20x10 chrome, should be about 2-3 weeks before they are sent out.

Where'd you get that info? Last I heard there was no shipping estimate for chrome 20s. With none actually in the warehouses, don't be surprised if that 2-3 weeks turns into 2-3 months.

He got it from me, I spoke with Eagle's corporate offices yesterday and that's the info they told me.

I updated the first post to reflect the new status. (Still won't believe it until they're in the warehouses. )

not considering it myself but I knew someone running the coys 20X10's on a 67 (narrow) rear and they had the 1" adapters and it looked perfect as far as backspacing on those particular wheels and wanted to bring that thought out for those it might help.
