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...

Joe

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.

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

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.

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.

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...

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.

SCOTI · 04-02-2011, 12:16 PM

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.

Hulk Will Smash · 04-02-2011, 12:39 PM

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...

Always a S-A in every crowd

.... 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).

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!

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.

dropd80s · 04-02-2011, 11:23 PM

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.

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

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?
