19.5 Rim Question

donnie · 03-11-2007, 12:20 PM

For those members that are running 19.5 rims on a 2500 SRW, what increase was there in fuel mileage and what if any changes did you notice in the braking and overall handleing of the truck?
Thanks.

i can't answer your ? on a single wheel, as for the duallys i run 19.5"s on. you will gain a little mpg on the hwy, but you loose a little in town, stop and go traffic due to the increased rotational mass. as for braking, i have seen no difference.

how many miles will the 19.5's last over the stock tires? with the tpms I have to run atleast 65 psi to keep the light off. Do they make an agressive looking tread pattern?

Check Rickson Truck Wheels and Accessories I have been researching this a bit and they seem to have some good info. 19.5's are cool but man they can put a real hurting on the wallet!!

Nobody wants to admit their mod isn't an improvement. I can tell you that larger tires giving you better economy because of lower rpm is a myth. I went from the stock wheels to a dually with steel 19.5's and 245/70R19.5 tires. The steel is heavy though, and the tires are drives (harder on fuel than the smooth ribbed tires).
Stock new I was getting 15.6 mpg hand calculated on the freeway. I cannot get over 13 mpg no matter how slow I drive. In fact, most of my driving is averaging 11-12mpg.
I am selling the steel wheels to change to 6 forged aluminum in an attempt to increase my mpg. If that doesn't work, I'll try the smaller lighter 225/70R19.5's.

you can't run 6 aluminums, need to have inner duals steel. lugs arn't long enough
