Most of what's available is or seems to be aimed at the LT or SUV market, so they would be rated accordingly (I hope anyway), and you would be running four on the rear axle. I haven't done any comparisons on load ratings VS the usual 215 or 235 / 85 sizes. |
Re: for the dually guys....20" rims
I thought some medium duty trucks came with 20s?

Like I said, I still need to gross 15k every once in a while...an LT tire ain't gonna get me there. Which really sucks, because the concept is totally bad ass. I'd love to run a set. |
Re: for the dually guys....20" rims
Oops...double post.

Re: for the dually guys....20" rims
hey campy, i looked on tire rack and they have e rated 20" tires
|
Re: for the dually guys....20" rims
Hmm...well that's interesting. Do you recall what size/brand?
|
Re: for the dually guys....20" rims
looks like discount tire has 265/60/20 in load range e
|
Re: for the dually guys....20" rims
That's a big ass tire. Almost 32.5" in diameter. Compared to a 225/75/16, which is a hair over 29".

PS...looks like a new thread over on DS. Maybe Lock will chime in with what he knows...

Re: for the dually guys....20" rims
yeah i found out thats a big tire, i have found some 7.50r20 though, says they are a shade over 28" tall
|
Re: for the dually guys....20" rims
Interesting find, I was about to try and lift my 2wd so I can fit a set of 22.5's on it. I can't wait to hear more info fellas.

Re: for the dually guys....20" rims
Watching this one too....

Re: for the dually guys....20" rims
Light truck/SUV crossover tire options:
Michelin Latitude Tour HP 245-50-20's @ 29.7" tall; 7.5" recommended rim width; 1704lb capacity rating 235-55-20's @ 30.2" tall; 7.5" recommended rim width; 1874lb capacity rating Yokohama Parada Spec-X 245-50-20's @ 29.7" tall; 7.5" recommended rim width; 1874lb capacity rating 235-55-20's @ 30.2" tall; 7.5" recommended rim width; 1874lb capacity rating While the price might be close to the TW&T TowNasty's, I just don't care for the low, low, profile 22" tire on a dually unless it's laid-out. The other 90% of the time it looks lost. I think 20's are the great compromise. Obviously this doesn't do much for the guys that expect to tow a trailer loaded to the hilt, but 22's wouldn't have been an option in those cases either (22.5's might if they would fit).... |

Re: for the dually guys....20" rims
That’s not as bad as I thought. Almost 7k across the back end. Even at max GCW (15k), you’d probably be okay.
I’d still like to know how they fit. |

Re: for the dually guys....20" rims
I max out a few times a year. 6,300# truck, 7,100# skid steer, 1,500# trailer = 14,900#.
We do have a 5,800# skid steer if I wanted to save about 1,300#. |

Hey all, Im the guy on Egay, lol, heres what I know about these, I worked for Eagle for 9 years 88-97, I was asked by one of your members to post, I have been selling lots of the 19.5, over 300 trucks and my fair share of 22.5 or 22" shaved, when I first saw the 20" coming out I jumped on it, getting the word out, and a big response. I have 15 orders and the wheels are just coming thru, they are 6 aluminum, the rear inners will be interlocking with the outers, the wheels will be hubcentric to the vehicle, the front wheels will be rated at 3000 pounds load capacity and the rears 2350ea, so the wheels alone across the rear 9400 pounds. we are still playing with tires depending on the look a customer is after, lifted with 33's or 35's, or stock or lowered, so far the Nitto 275/60-20 Dura Grappler at 33" overall diameter 10 ply load range E, seems will be the best for stock trucks, when you get to 285mm(11.22" wide) width that is when the rears will touch and thus need the adpaters but since these 20's will interlock and I have not even got a set yet we dont know what we will have to do to run an adapter, because of liablilty you will want to use a 10 ply load range e tire, anything less and someone is in big trouble if a tire blows out. Im sure I will be shipping wheels only and customers will buy there own tires so I wont have the liability, if I do any with tires they will have to be 10 ply, I cant find anything smaller then the 275/60-20 at this time, just the Nitto mentioned above and Pro Comp(pro comp being discontinued but we can do a buy 3 get one free), So all 6 aluminum polished wheels including the inners, 20x7.5 they will have the 0589 classics with round holes and the 0569 spokes will come in polished and black let me know if I can answer any questions and will post more info as the wheels come thru, thank you |
Re: for the dually guys....20" rims
Thanks for posting. That answers a lot of questions. I'm still curious to see how they'll look on a lowered truck, and what size/brand tire will work in that application.
BTW, I'm just up the 15 from you in Hesperia. How 'bout a local hookup? :lol: |
Re: for the dually guys....20" rims
The 'inter-lock' feature.... Does that mean the wheel spacing will be similar or the same as a pair of steel wheels?
|
Re: for the dually guys....20" rims
does that mean you can only buy sets?
|
Re: for the dually guys....20" rims
This looks promising, It would be a cheaper option than having to fork out the cash for adapters, wheels, tires, possible lift if going with 22.5's, and having to find a C&C rear end to tuck under the fenders.
