sweet, I'd love some or just some aftermarket 16's but I can't get myself to pull the trigger on the $$$$'s and then deal with the tire rotation issues

Even though I still love the stock 00-02 wheels, those 19.5's look **** good. I think it would look even better if the truck was lowered down a bit.

love the look. i know i get nearly 100k out of the 19.5 set up on the work truck (f450 4x4), so the life of the tires can help justify the expense! what size tires are those? any suspension mods?

Dixon Mark

The tires are michelin xrv 245-70-19.5 I bought them used off of cragslist for $250.00 to help offset the cost of the rim upgrade. As for suspension it is stock with a 3/4'' raise on the front.I plan on upgrading the brakes to the 04 and up bigger brakes soon.

Looks good, dude!

how does the truck feel loaded or pulling? a little sluggish off line or about the same...noticeable at all?

ride quality?

Truck looks great!

How much did the wheels cost you? I'm looking to get a set of 19.5's for a 1 ton dump truck project I'm building. It looks great man.

I do notice it lost a little off the line power and some stopping power. And the ride is a little rougher on the bumps but on the highway it rides great and the speedo is about 5 mph off . My next set of tires will be a set of 225-70-19.5 that will put the gear ratio closer to stock and take close to twenty pounds per tire lighter. The rims are $1700.00 plus tax and ups ride. As for towing the only thing I have towed is a 24 Ft boat and some empty tri axle boat trailers.And I did not notice any real power loss from my initial ride empty but a 24' boat is not that heavy. As for the wheels the aluminum wheels took any where from .5 OZ to 1.50 OZ the steal wheels took 5.5oz and 6 oz when I looked at them you can see they are not near as nice as the aluminum wheels.

Thanks man. I priced a set of 19.5 steel wheels with tires, brand new $2200.00 at my local tire shop. I'm still looking.

I got six aluminum with tires, mounted and balanced for $2100 installed.
