Are all BBS 8.375 14.5 WB shapes actually 14.375 or just Polar? Thinking of 8.375 Anti-Hero's in particular.
8.38 may as well be 8.375 or 8.4 for all the difference it is, but some might be wider or not as wide as others, even from the same lot, but there are a few different shapes I have seen and measured, as that is the size I like to skate too.
There are still a lot of shape options even for the same basic dimensions, but some boards are a bit more here and there, depending on what they want to put out, shape wise.
Eg BBS brand boards I have seen have a few options (not just DLX) in that approximate size:
8.38 x 32.2 with 14.38 wb Black Label
8.38 x 32.25 with 14.5 wb DLX
8.38 x 32 with 14.25 wb DLX
8.38 x 32 with 14.5 wb Baker
8.38 x 32.2 with 14.5 wb Element
8.38 x 32.12 with 14.5 wb Birdhouse
8.38 x 32.12 with 14.5 wb DGK
8.38 x 31.93 with 14.27 wb Element
8.375 x 32 with 14.5 wb Polar
8.375 x 32 with 14.38 wb Generator wood (local brand)
8.375 x 31.92 with 14.2 wb Primitive
Some of those numbers are a bit funny, but whatever.
My usual DLX actually measures more like almost 8.5 and almost 32.5 long but always with 14.5 wheelbase, which is why I like it so much, but other DLX boards are pretty much the same as a Baker, Birdhouse, Element, DGK, and a couple of others I have here too, even though they often have different measurements listed.
