I've seen a few driving down in Orange County, but you have to watch your braking. Those wheels are heavy. Its like putting cheap 26's on a stock braked 1500 your going to need some extra stopping distance.

Other then that I am looking at a Square Body Crew Cab Dually down the block cheap since my wifey says I need a vehicle with room for us, soon to be kid, and dog. Becouse ever since I saw the big rig rims on a dually I have had to have one. The 19.5's look pretty good, and they save weight. If I can talk my wife into letting me get this instead of a Tahoe I would cut the 19.5's to 19's where I can get some cool street tires cheap enough. Plus they have plenty of sizes in 19.5 if you don't want to mill.

Here is a pic of the eagle 19.5's on my dually. I will post a few more pics when I put the 6/8 on.

How do those tires ride? Someone told me that those tires rode badly. I have a 6-8 now and really want to run 19.5as

Are your inner wheels 19.5" steel wheels or did you keep the 16" stock steel wheels. What size tires are you running? I was looking at a 225/70/19.5 on mine lowered 6-8 I think they are like 32" OD and the stock tires are around 31"

It does ride a little rougher. I am running the 225/70/19.5 and the inner wheel is a Rickson steel coated 19.5

The tires for my 22s are about 32" tall can I use the 6/8 drop or should I go 3/5. I ordered the banks 6gun with speed loader yesterday. Does it make any difference on exhuast. All of the look the same with dpf. Any advice.
