Re: got new wheels

Are the Acurides common on the P30's?

Re: got new wheels

I have a stupid question about the 19.5's. Are you guys wanting them just because they are visually a bigger rim? A 225/70/19.5 tire is about 31.4" diameter. I have 285/75/16's on my dually now and they are about. 32.8' dia. Just trying to see the difference in buying the bigger rims verse buying taller 16" tires. Again this may be a stupid question but would like your insight on why choosing a 19.5.

Yea they are visually bigger more rim less tire and the tires last close to 100,000 miles soughta like this dually.

It's the tires. 19.5s are a whole different class. They are a true truck tire and will last as long as you want to keep the truck, unlike 16 inch tires. They're particularly good if you pull heavy as the added safety margin on the weight rating makes them almost overkill.

Also, every dually wheel I have ever sandblasted was an Accuride brand wheel. Even the factory 16s on my cab and chassis are Accurides.

On the flip side of this is they'll ride like a truck tire for every single one of those miles. Might be a little more noticeable in a production vehicle vs a larger truck.

Thanks guys. I had that thought cross my mind just wasn't sure. What size of tire is good for these squares on the 19.5's.

225/70's @ 31.4 are the closest to the 235/85-16's on most 2wd duallys.

I haven't sandblasted any wheels myself, but I had observed this myself when washing them. Also, the steelies on my Dad's 2011 K3500 DRW are still made by Accuride.

Re: got new wheels

Since tires and sizes/costs/options have been mentioned I'm gonna post up this link: Rickson Wheel Manufacturing - 19.5" TRUCK TIRES I appreciate the table they have of various manufacturers and specs.

Quoted for truth. I just took my 19.5's off and put 35's on. The difference is night and day. I loved the look of the 19.5's, but looking back now I don't know how I ever dealt with that harsh ride.
Here's mine with the 19.5's...

Re: got new wheels

well I took the wheels to get powder coated today its going to be gloss black, I am only going to do 4 and leave the inners white . I am thinking of adding a spacer to spread the wheel out a little, what do you guys think, wld I need longer studs . they should look like this.

Re: got new wheels

You need to run the tire pressures recommended on the sidewall of the tire. Half sized tires don't seat securely on the bead like regular tires. They need the air pressure to keep the bead seated to the rim.
