Re: 19.5 high clearance srw rims

You may want to check the cost of tires before making that decision. One of my trucks has factory 19.5s and decent imports like kumho are pushing $400 a piece for a non highway tread. I know that there are some light duty tires making it to market now for the diesel truck crowd but last I checked they were pretty expensive also. My 5500 is averaging 20k miles a set and has had kumho, Hankook, and Goodyears on it and is due for set number 4 at 80k miles. This truck does wiegh 12k pounds empty. I want out from under the 19.5s but semi tires are my only option and wheel adapters are over a grand themselves and tires are around $600 each. The p30 rims are usually expensive when you can find them. Good luck.
