anyone running alcoa semi's, please chime in

04SSHD · 08-06-2008, 11:33 AM

I found a guy near me selling some 24.5 alcoas, I was looking for 22.5's but the price on the 24.5's is too hard to pass up. If I ran low pros on the 24.5's would I be able to clear them on my dually with my 2" level kit?

With 24.5s, the smallest tire that I know of that you can get is a 285/75 which is 42.2" tall. You would need a big lift. Now if the 24.5s were shaved down to a 24" wheel, you have a bunch of tire options that would fit perfect. In other words, they don't have a low profile tire unless you run a shaved 24" Alcoa.

they have 285/75/24.5's on them right now. I could have sworn I have seen some lower profile tires for 24.5's around somewhere. I can get 8 of them for $1200, enough for my truck plus two for spares.

That's a pretty good deal. I would get them, and worry about it later. Go for it!!

What size were they? I'm still pretty sure a 285/75r24.5 is the smallest O.D. diameter tire they make in a 24.5. That price also seems way off for a 24.5 commercial tire.

that was the price for 8 drives with like new virgin rubber, I was going to jump on them at that price. Too bad they are sold now. The tires on them were 285/75/24.5

Exactly what I was saying in my other post. That tire size wont work without a huge lift. A 285/75r24.5 is 41" tall.

According to DuallyWheels4U.com, you must have 8" of lift to be able to run 24.5s. Due to the fact that the smallest tire for that rim is 40" tall.
