The Long Awaited Re-Tooled Boss 338 Is Here.....

Ok, guys I just got my new Boss 338's and here are some starting pics of the new re-tooled 20x8.5 fronts. I am hopefully getting the tires put on today but I will for sure in the next hour or two test fit the new retooled one on the front rotor so we can all see if they are going to work.

Isn't the 82.80mm hub bore the same as the old revision? That's not a good sign.

Fouth picture is the box for the old version. Everything is the same except for cap # and the part #.... Why is that if they are the new version?

I had some minor fitment issues, all the info is in the Boss 338 Group Buy thread. Hart, the rear 20x10's didn't clear the inside fender, I am going to try some 1/4" spacers here in a few minutes.
