I was pretty excited to put on Rickson's but I was quoted well over $3000 for a set of wheels and tires. They want a small fortune to mount and balance them. Rickson is not making the aluminum wheels and the really push the steel rims.

I decided if I were to change wheels I would go with another aluminum wheel manufacturer.

I put on Nitto 285/75R-17 and I am very happy so far. My tires are 34" tall and 11 1/2" wide and I don't think I'd want to go much narrower. The Nittos are rated for almost 4,000 lbs.

 

I went for the 19.5's for weight cap and safety I am a full time Rv'r and can't afford the repairs from blowouts carrying and towing heavy loads. My load is not much to some but everything we own is being carried or towed by this truck for now,
