Default Direct Bolt On Tractor Wheels

I want to put tractor wheels on my dually, I like the 22.5s but I dont want to put adapters from 8 to 10 lugs because I know there not reliable. If I have to ill go down to the 19.5 because they have a few with the 8 lug pattern. I found a few sites that offer direct bolt ons like American Force, Big Dually Wheels and Rims -- Custom Dually Wheels For Big Trucks and Brentz Wheel Designs and was wondering if there were any other sites that I could look at b4 I make up my mind. Any help is greatly appreciated thanks in advance

I run the 19.5's and am vary happy.......gettin 125k per set of tires and the payload is 6400 lbs each

I wouldnt go with 22.5's its just too much and I think you will be way to high geared

bentz wheels are nice but i would go with a 19.5


22.5s arent bad, just get quality adaptors.


EDIT: rickson wheels are pretty dang cool!

My 19.5 inch Ricksons with the smallest rubber they fit are still 34 inches tall. I didn't want any bigger then that right now because it really kills the power left over for towing.

How has the ride quality been affected with the 19.5s? Isnt the tires a little stiffer then regular?

Mine ride much better then my old tires did. They actually smooth the ride out, get better mileage and last 10 times as long as all the old 33's I ran. The only problem I have with them is the tread. Even my all weather tires have nothin more then highway tread on them and I need somethin with a little bite for farm work. So far I haven't had any problems but winter is comin and the snow and mud along with it.

Any bigger then these and you would definitely need the 4:10 gearing.
