Those must be the new revision that just came out -- not even listed on the Boss site yet. Not sure why they've reverted to -1AA for the revision, unless it's because they consider the different offset a new line. That +2mm offset gets them much closer to where they should be, with about 5.6" of backspacing instead of 6.3" on the older versions with a +20mm offset. You still may need to run a 1/4" spacer, but it depends on your individual setup, rear end width, tire choice, etc. Only ways to know are to measure carefully or just bolt it up and see what happens.

For reference, these are my 20x10 specs from back in 2010: http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...=1#post3933454

That might be a little short on the tire for the rear ..... at least for my taste. Only gonna be 27-1/2" tall , those trucks can usually take more tire.

That wheel still has the 82.80mm bore size so you will still have to mod the front rotor more than likely , unless it is a light duty rotor front which it could be on an 82. Then they will just bolt on.

I went with 245/40-20 (27.72" tall) and 295/40-20 (29.29" tall) on my staggered 20s. I would have preferred 295/35 (28.13" tall) on the rear but it wasn't available in the tire I wanted.

This is what I would do also.
If you get on tirerack.com you can compare sizes of tires and wheel widths etc.
