ok lowlife99....I pulled the tire off and looked at the baer front hub. I don't have a fancy measuring deal so with a tape this is what I have.

From the face of the rotor ( where the wheel mounts ) to the hub edge is about 1 7/8"

Same spot to the end of the spindle nut is about 2 1/2"

The hub at the top is about 2 3/4" outside to outside.

The problem is there is a step at the base of the hub which is probably a tad over 3", it would seem the opening of the Boss 338 wheel would need to be machined a bit larger. that seems like a viable option.
