No...they went with a smaller wheel to improve mileage and top speed....when I wear these out I am going to go with something bigger

I've seen guys saying they get 19-20mpg. Was the 4.88 offered? That's the ratio that killed the 6.4 in the F450-550s. Good luck with the 6.7, from what I read it's a hella motor!

I've looked high and low but can't find a good-looking 19.5 wheel.

Just those boring roundholes.

You could go with 22s or 22.5s and get awesome looking wheels. Michelin Goodyear and Hankook make 250,000 mile commercial tires if you're looking for high mileage.
