Thinking about going with this rim- Alcoa 22.5x14" on Michelin 445/50R22.5.
Any one using these or heard about them(good or bad). I like the look of the wide single tire in rear.


Thanks

 

I love the look of super singles for the rear, but you know that tire is 40" tall, right? How much lift are you gonna need? Put up some pics if you do it!

 

I don't think it's a 40" tall tire.

 

a friend of mine has it done to his truck and to runs the 22.5s on the front and back with those tires. he had to go a up witha 6inch lift.. go park next to an 18 wheeler and compare be for you go that big. cuz thats what he has on his truck the big 10 lug 22.5s. it is a monster and road walks bad!!

 

Thanks for the input, don't want my truck to run worse. Why would they "wheel walk". I'm assuming that means they want to wonder all over the road.

 

yes sir.. its just hard to keep in one spot on the road. it looks like hes driving drunk.. lol
but on my dually i have 20inch with a 10 inch wide rims with a spacer on the back with a big 35 12.50 mud grappler on the rims. it looks good and most ppl done even see that i have a single on the back.. i think its a sweet set up.. but that just me.. ppl say they like it..

 

Will you post some pics? Here's a pic of my truck. I want to put on rims and tires but not the same old thing you see around town.

 

it is dark now but i will see if i can get some pics on the comp. but pm me your cell and ill send u some pics on the phone tomarrow if i cant get them on the comp.

 

this is a pic of just the back on.

 

sorry for the delay...
http://www.michelintruck.com/micheli...s/whatsNew.jsp and click the link for the x one energy brochure. it gives the specs.
American Force makes some super singles and a lot of cool designs. check this site http://www.americanforcewheels.com/
I have no affiliation, just seen the ads and website before and drooled!

 

445mm / 25.4in x 50% x 2 (two side walls) + 22.5in = 40 inch tire

 

445mm is 17.5 in....changes things a bit...but still equals 40 in. if your equation is correct...

 

17.5 + 22.5 = 40....
2 sidewalls at 50% of 445mm is 445mm or 17.5 inches. also matches the Michelin website spec

 

25.4mm/inch.

michelins web site says 40.2" overall diameter

 

anyone got a link to a picture of these tires mounted on a 3/4 ton 4x4?
