I thought I would run this by you guys before buying. They are 19.5 wheels and tires $75.00 each and close to home. I am currently running 7.50-20” on my 4400 1 1/2 ton Chevy. If I get adapters I could sell my tires and rims to lower the price of these , so what do you think?
Joe Allen Sounds OK On the adapters I don,t know what holds them in place. I have some later wheels I thought I might use that way. Really havn't looked at it yet,hear others do it so must be possible.
19.5" tires and rims are not in the same class as your 20's...they might look small on your truck. The tubeless one piece rim that matches your 20's is the 22.5" rim.
Can the 22.5 be adapted to fit without cutting and welding?
Without cutting or welding what?
What year is your truck?
This rim might work, but it has the large 6.25" center hole...you might need to have a spacer made depending on what year your truck is...early trucks had a 4.75" hole.
I’ve seen people cut out the center of their old rim to weld in the center of the newer rim I can’t see paying $2000 for rims and then tires on top of that. This definitely won’t be a daily driver. Do you know what the height difference is between the 19.5 and 22.5 wheels?
The wheel height difference would be 1", but that's not what you need to know, your looking for tire diameter (overall height of the tire). I don't think there are any 19.5" tires that are 40" tall.
I don't know what the common tire sizes are for the 19.5 rims, you'll need to search that.
The original match for your 7.50x20 would be the 8.25x22.5, (but I don't think they are made anymore) so you'd have to go up to the 9R22.5 which are about 40" tall.
My '59 Viking 40 has 19.5's on it. I'm assuming the originals on it were 20's also. You can look at it in the gallery forum and decide for yourself if you think they look too small. They might be a little, but I'm ok with them. To each his own.
