Re: anyone running boss 338 rims

Re: anyone running boss 338 rims

Why just 8" up front? My 9" Snypers with 275s fit great, no adapters & do not stick out any.

Re: anyone running boss 338 rims

they are the right bolt spacing, the only thing is the offset , there a 5" bs and i thought it might be a bit tight on the outter lip... the reason i wouldnt go to the 9.5 on the front is the backspacing issue .. and plus i do like the look of a bit wider on the back..

Re: anyone running boss 338 rims

the front should be 4.5" of bs with that size and the rear should be 6. That will keep them sitting nicely. 5" would stick the rears out of the wheel well.
