1. How many offsets are available and which is optimal for our trucks?
3. How do we make payment? checkout is not working
Only one offset.
5.25" BS up front
6.225" BS rear.
I assume almost everyone will have to use some type of spacer on the rear. (on the 67-72 trucks) Also the 67-70 and 71-72 will require different spacers due to the different rearend width.

You guys crack me up. Ha.

I have some "Boss 338 Snakeoil" for sale. Anybody interested? Ha.

Actually, good luck with this group buy.
I'm just afraid some people will be disappointed if there is fitment problems.
Also,... who's responsible if there is damage during shipping? AEW?

Re: Boss 338 Wheels **GROUP BUY**

Wow... a bunch of you guys are hot for these things.

What about the rear back-spacing for the 20's? Is everyone considering the cost of the adapters you'll need to run the 20x10's on the 6x-87 GM trucks (the wheels have seemingly correct offset for 88-98's, but not the pre-88's)? The 18x9.5's BS looks about right; too bad they don't offer the same BS in the 20x10's.

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.

I paid about $150 for a set (2) of 1" adapters years ago. I'm not sure what they go for these days or if the 1" variety is even still available in 5x5 pattern.

I'm Sorry can someone explain for me why as spacer is needed for the back wheels? Please

My 68 w/the stock 68 12-bolt could use 5-5.50" back-spacing. I installed 5.50"BS wheels that required mini-tubbing the bed floor. Add an additional .725" & it would only be worse. The use of a wider 71-72 rear might work better here but I'm not sure how much clearance would be there.....

The 5.50"BS was about the max I could use on my 74 (w/stock 74 12-bolt). Again, any more back-spacing would require mini-tubbing. There might be a slight chance they'd fit but it would be close.
