My father was not the wisest man I ever met but he did teach me not to jump off the bridge just because little jimmy did!!!

I can think of, off the top of my head, a half of a dozen better ways to identify chicken s**t other than tasting it

I totally get your point, just the tasting of the chicken s**t got me.

You certainly painted a vivid picture with your words.

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

Hickup..... I have no beef with you and yet somehow you seem to think so...... I simply was trying to say that this guy says this this guy says that.... all of which work for or very closely to aew...... and maybe they are like the guys on wall street and lie to make money I have been told they fit I have been told they won't from these aew people..... They may in fact be like the rest of corporate america with there head in the sand and dont have a clue. That being said I am gonna find out for myself...... I hardly think this is the same as "jumping off a bridge cause little jimmy did" I will post pics and update when they arrive.

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

At least I will know who lied and who told the true........ One thing I have notice through all this is that these are american made wheels that seem to be very popular and yet the factory knew there was a problem and did not make changes quick enough........ This may indicate why industry in america in fading away........

I believe the fitment of these wheels were originally for the large GM cars (Caprice and Impalas, which just so happen to be the same as the light duty 1" truck rotors) and now they seem to be trying to make them fit the HD brakes, any tooling change takes time and money. Like it has been said a few times there are other wheels that fit these trucks without modification. I'm not sure that the company intentionally sold these wheels claiming they fit the trucks, now some of the distributors on the other hand........

I guess you didn't read the part where I said I talked directly to the MFG and they said they wouldn't even start for another 90-120 days, These are not made yet ! I GUESS i COULD BE A LIAR! But i tend not to lie about such things.

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

Well guys I got my wheels thursday. I had NO Problems with them fitting the hub as far as the diameter goes..... but they are not deep enough yet....I can trim the cap and glue it and they fit with no spacer...... So I guess to say there has been a change but not good enough yet..... I am trying to decide to try and run or return them. They way I see it they will have to change the backspace to make these work correctly....
