Ok, I'm looking into getting some bigger wheels next time I change tires. I don't need anything huge, no bigger than 19.5. I really like the semi wheel look that style. Anyone have those or anything else for your 2nd gen. duallies? Can't get rear wheel spacers or converters from 8-10 lugs, cause the weight being hauled, or that's what I've heard. Any suggestions? Anyone running 285's on thier stock rear wheels, any problems with rubbing? Thanks!

I run 285s on my stock wheels with a 3/8s inch spacer inbetween the rear wheels. It works, but I dont like the spacer in the back. Never had a problem though. It does look good and the tires dont rub.

Where did you get the spacer for them, and why don't you like it?

I run 16" alcoas on mine and I like them. I would like some 19.5's but I can't justify the cost. It's not so much the wheels as it is the tire cost.

I'll jump up to 255/85 or 305/85 on my next set of tires. If you tow heavy, the 19.5s might make a lot more sense for you.

Does anyone know if the 19.5 wheels can support a wider tire than the stock wheels? I'd like to get bigger wheels, but also a bit wider tires.

So, everyone is just running stock wheels on duallies? I know there has to be some more out there that have aftermarkets on them? Show em off! Thanks guys!

I don't think i've seen any of those semi lookin wheels on a 2nd gen dually here yet... a bunch of 3rd gen guys have them. I think u'll be fine with a spacer if u have to run one, the few people i've heard from say no problems towing some pretty good loads for years.

I wanna goto 35" but u either need really offset wheels or a big spacer like 2.5" + to not rub towing. Thats why the only good choice is 255/85's with like a 1/2" spacer or somthing.

But if u got the money, u can get any size tire and wheel combo, but the wider u go the farther those wheels will stick outside the fenders.

I have seen one 2ed gen truck with the that set up.they call it the bigwheel kit.it comes with the leveling system in the front a 2in taller block for the rear,basicaly a 2in lift.it comes with the 19.5 wheels a hand full to chose from and the tires to wrap then in.the guy told me its a grand total or about 3,300$ out the door.if I'm just gonna blow 3300$ on my truck its gonna be in gofast stuff.couse we all know tires and wheels don't get you up to 65mph faster than anyone else.

I've got Alcoa's on mine, but they are still just 16x6 wheels. Look better though.

Be sure to post thos 37's on the Rockstars when you get 'em on....those are sick wheels especially for black, sport duallies like ours'.

Anyway I'm running 16x6 Alcoas and 235/85-16's like a couple other guys here. Better looking that stock I think...I just gotta clean 'em

juicedbusa02
