I am thinking about the 19.5 so that I can do a direct bolt on with no brake or suspension modifications. ( 2006 Ford F-350 Duually 4x4). Thanks
answere to your question is yes, my next truck will have them on it as well. If i move up to an F650 it will have 22.5's

I went with the Rickson 19.5's with Goodyear G124 tires on my Dodge 3500 and have no problems. They are direct bolt on's with no adapters. If I did it again I would do the 22.5's.

the 255 / 70 / 22.5 are 37" tall.
On a new Chevy you will need to have the ABS module reprogrammed to make the brake light error go away.
I tried changing the gears from 3.73 to 4.56, bt am changing it back to stock. I lost too much on the top end. As long as you have some sort of performance chip you should be fine with the stock gears.

Is there a direct bolt on Alcoa 19.5?? I like the look of those wheels with the big tires. I don't keep anything long enough to mess with suspension, brakes, computers, etc...
