Let's see them! Who out there are running 19" dually wheels on squares? Alum or steel!

Re: Pics of duallies with 19" wheels
 

Hello,

I have a set of 8 lug 19.5 steels for my K30 dump project. Pulled from an early '80s mini-bus, they're nearly IMPOSSIBLE to find around here. Plan to powdercoat white with black lug rings. 245/70R19.5s will look HUGE on there, should look mean ;).

Anyway, don't have any pics, so I'm sorry this doesn't help you. Just didn't want you to fell alone here :). I plan to run them, just haven't made of that far yet...

not mine

Re: Pics of duallies with 19" wheels
 

How about 22.5"?

Re: Pics of duallies with 19" wheels
 

I had no idea you were a member here! Love the conversions! Would love to build one, and run super singles on all four corners one day.

Re: Pics of duallies with 19" wheels
 

How about this......Looks good, rides terrible!

Re: Pics of duallies with 19" wheels
 

On my mobile so I can't post pictures right now, but search my posts. My '87 has 19.5" steelies off a P series van. I really like the way they balance out the look of the truck without being over the edge on wheel/tire ratio.

I was hope'n for a lotta picture's, I wanna run 19.5's on my carhauler.

Re: Pics of duallies with 19" wheels
 

These are all 19.5's which won't work on 502ss's lowered dually. How about trucks w/19" (milled 19.5's w/19" tires) combo's? I've only seen a couple & they were in the TnWT website gallery.

Re: Pics of duallies with 19" wheels
 

Now you tell me the 19.5" won't work on a lowered truck! Dang I wish I'd known a year ago before I started driving it every day...

Re: Pics of duallies with 19" wheels
 

Always a S-A in every crowd :rolleyes: .... I did not say they won't work @ all. I said:

How much is your drop? 19.5's are very limited on tire selections when it comes to height (meaning you can't get a 28-29" tall 19.5). So, unless he plans to remove his inner fender well up front or build new ones (both of which he's alluded to are not in his plans) I stand by my comment (those set-ups wouldn't work for him on his dropped truck).

Re: Pics of duallies with 19" wheels
 

Thanks for reiterating why I asked for 19" specifically, not 19.5' not 22's, etc....

I posted the same question over on duallyscene and Trevor from TW&T posted me a couple of pictures. This is what I am looking for!

Re: Pics of duallies with 19" wheels
 

pvkj, that looks so much better! I love the hell outta that truck, but the way those huge chrome caps looked on the black wheels really turned me off. And I actually do like black and chrome wheels, my 82 has black painted stock steel wheels with chrome lugnut covers and trim rings. But those caps were just way too big.

Re: Pics of duallies with 19" wheels
 

I know a couple guys running the old GM rv 8 lug 19.5s on squarebodies, I think it looks cool. But I haven't been able to find any and I've been keeping an eye out for years. Limited tire choices in that size, but with a lifted dually I've already got limited tire choices. Right now I've got a 4 inch suspension and 31 inch 16s. If I could find 19.5s and 225 or 245 tires, I'd be willing to add a 3 inch body lift to clear them if I needed to.

Re: Pics of duallies with 19" wheels
 

Thanks. I would have rather had the stainless caps with separate lug covers for the black wheels but I don't think they would have worked with my wheel adapters. I also need the removable centers to get to my lockouts.

Re: Pics of duallies with 19" wheels
 

I really like those. I also like the 19" size on our trucks...looks very proportionate.

Re: Pics of duallies with 19" wheels
 

Agreed! :metal:

502ss, what are you planning to run for tires? What kind of load rating/size is available? As focused as your build is on keeping the towing ability intact, just curious what you've found.

Re: Pics of duallies with 19" wheels
 

Mine is a 4/6 static drop. I haven't moved the fender wells. It hits from time to time, but I find the brake pedal comes in handy as far as keeping the truck off what's left of the bump stops.

383, That's a sharp looking tuck in you last post! Also dig your signature. We loved the old Rugby Imports t-shirts that had the Henry the 8th on the back. A great line for the right circumstances!

Oh yah, and apologies for the digression from the 19s to the 19.5s. Seems like people will casually refer to the 19.5s as "19s". Bad assumption on my part. I'm sure it will turn out sharp no matter which way you go based on the work you've done so far.

Re: Pics of duallies with 19" wheels
 

Are those 245/70s? That sure is a sweet looking truck :).

As said, I plan to run 245/70s on my K30. I only have the stock 3-leaf front pack though, plus a Rancho add-a-leaf (supposed to raise 1-1.5"). Hopefully they won't rub too bad. Thoughts?

Thanks,

Joe

P.S. - As far as the confusion regarding the OP and his lowered dually, the fact that it is lowered was never mentioned anywhere in the original post. As said, many refer to 19.5s as 19s. Sorry for the confusion, was just trying to help...

Re: Pics of duallies with 19" wheels
 

What size on the tires?

Re: Pics of duallies with 19" wheels
 

225/70 Continental HSRs.

Re: Pics of duallies with 19" wheels
 

That's 31.9" of tire height & extremely tall for a lowered truck. How is your truck lowered?

Re: Pics of duallies with 19" wheels
 

DANG!!!! That is it! The only way that'd be better is if it was a square body Topkick.

Re: Pics of duallies with 19" wheels
 

2" Bell spindles and 2" lower springs up front, shackles and smaller pack in the rear. Truck rides fine. I've driven it every day since last July. Prior owner did the same for nearly a year before that. It was a street trucks magazine tech article project.

Re: Pics of duallies with 19" wheels
 

it will take me better part of a day to find the info on tire size but I do know its on 19" brentz wheels

Re: Pics of duallies with 19" wheels
 

anyone know the specs on the 245/70/19.5 vs 225/70? I seem to be able to find all the specs for the smaller size tires but not those. I need to know how tall they are. I talked to a gm guy who runs them on two of his 1 tons, he's got 8r19.5s, but they look like steer tires, not what I want. Real tall, but ultra skinny with no discernable tread. Wont work on a 4wd that I want to be able to hunt and plow with. I'll be looking for 6 drive tires.
Anyway, I am guessing the 245 will be at least 33". I've got room for 35-36 at least. Anything smaller than 33 is going to look too small imo.

Re: Pics of duallies with 19" wheels

245-70-19.5 = 33"
225-70-19.5 = 31.9"

Re: Pics of duallies with 19" wheels
 

Thanks thats just what I was looking for. Def want to go with the 33s, I already have 31s and they're too small for a lifted truck. Plus the big wheel will make the smaller tire look even smaller. I know some (a lot!) of you guys like the look of a big rim and a tiny sidewall, but it's not for me.

Re: Pics of duallies with 19" wheels
 

It's not so much that it's 'liked', it's more out of necessity. Depending on the ride height, you have room for X amount of inches before interference. Deduct the 19" rim diameter & divide what's left by 2 (top & bottom sidewall height) & that's what you have to work with or you're going to have to start cutting/modifying (or raising) the truck.

Me personally.... I feel 4" minimum sidewall height is needed to survive our well kept roads.

Re: Pics of duallies with 19" wheels
 

I have had quite a few tire discussions with Trevor over at TNW&T and spent countless hours researching my options. The discussions started with the standard 245/45-19 recommendation but I really don't want a 27.5" tall tire so I am looking to go with a 255/55-19 and 235/75-16 which will yield about a 30" tall tire which is still 1.75" shorter then the factory setup. Now as far as loads go, my GAWR in the rear is 7500lbs or 1875lbs per tire. All of the tires I found in the sizes listed above are in the 2100-2300lb range so I should be fine. A great resource for researching tire size/options is www.1010tires.com

Re: Pics of duallies with 19" wheels
 

So I thought I had my mind made up with my wheel choice but now I am wondering if the classic hole pattern would be cool too!!

What do you guys think?

Re: Pics of duallies with 19" wheels
 

I'm not a fan of the 'classics'. The holes are scaled too small for the wheel mass (it's also what I dislike about my 16" classics).
