    Terry,
    I ordered the same Boss 338 rims for my 70 Cuda and had clearance issue in the back.The rim stuck out about an 1 inch pass the wheel well.In the front i had an issue with the dustcap cover exposed to far out to use Boss centercap.I had ordered 18x8 in the front and 18x9.5 in the back.What was offset you ordered on the rims?My cuda is also stock. :feedback:

    i recieved my set of boss 338's a little while ago.. for the second time.

    they sent me the wrong bolt pattern the first time!  So needless to say, as soon as i got this set i mounted up the rears & dropped the jack stands to see how they fit in the wheel wells & how close to the spring they were..

    *keep in mind my car has had a small shackle lift at some point in its life*

    *I went with a mickey thompson 28x10x18*

    -on the passenger side I had a 1/2 of clearance between the tire and spring pack..
    -on the driver side i had a lttle more

    -and as far as i can tell, with it still sitting in the garage, they sit nice on the outter lip & wount have trouble for clearance or it sticking out to far

    hey 05srtcuda..  I wonder if the rear quarters are wider on a challenger than on a cuda? because mine are do not stick out that far

    My 'cuda has SSBC disc brakes in the front, so many the dust caps are smaller then the stock ones. The look the same as the drum brakes had.

    Hey Greenzepplin what have you done to raise the rear end so much.  Do you have air shocks. Also I have 17x8 4.5" BS Cragers on ther front of my 71 Chally with 245/45's.  I want to lower the front a little but they rub on the outside especially when you turn the wheel.  I've got 17 x9 on the rear with 5.5" of BS with the Dr. Diffs spring relocation hangers.  Plenty of room with 295's on them, but I have been thinking of getting new rims,all 17's but with a 5.5 " BS on the front so I can lower it a little.  How much were the Boss wheels you have.

    Here is my contribution.
    18" KMC Hot Wheels "68" wheels.
    7" backspacing
    8.5" wide.
    2" adapter needed to clear the spring, and 1/2-3/4" away from the wheel lip.
    I bought my adapters from Adaptitusa.com.

    Big Mike is very helpful, and a great Mopar enthusiast. I recommend dealing with them.

    Looks good, make sure to retorque those spacers after the first couple miles/heat cycles. Mine have been good to me on my Wrangler, but be sure to check them.

    Never seen wheels like that on an e body. Unique.
    They remind me of the porsche star alloys.
    And those are some serious adapters! Yes, definitely retorque them after a few miles.
