19.5's on a GMC Dually

[Carguy]

Anyone switched the 17's to 19.5's? Im wondering if you ruin any ride quality when this is done.
Thanks

19.5's shouldn't be terrible but the 22's SUCK. I guy I met did it and even though it looks cool the ride was terrible.

19.5's look good but they are expensive to replace and don't get a lot of miles out of them, I ran them on some commercial units and did not like them

I ran the 19.5's on my 06 Ford swb dually and was totally happy with them, I tried the 22.5's and it made a miserable pos out of my truck. As far as mileage, I ran mine 15000 miles and the still looked like new, I would have to guess on a private use vehicle with any maintinance at all they would run 75 to 100000 miles, just don't skimp on tire quality, and dont run adapters. I used Michelin 265/70r19.5 xde+2's on Brentz custom predrilled wheels.

I ran Rickson 19.5's on a Ford with 265 Yokohama TY303's. Rode great and the tires lasted forever.

I actually started out ordering a set from Rickson but after being put off 3 different times(I found out later that they weren't doing their own aluminum wheels at the time and were farming them out, hence the problems getting a set) I started investigating other venues, and I bought a set of 22.5 Alcoa's with Michelin's and American Force adaptors and was miserable, I dumped that after 3 months of trying to get it right and that was when I found Brentz and they bailed me out in short order.

Your truck looks awesome! You should look into the Harley headlights from ford. It would finish it just right.

Thanks, I actually put Harley headlights in it after the picture was taken, I took everything off the truck before I traded it off, I like the new truck but its not the beast that the old one was, but my accountant told me I needed to trade for the incentives and the depriciation factor.
