Big wheel conversion

Lilboy1023 · 08-09-2008, 02:10 PM

I have tried the search and come up empty. I have a 2008 Dodge Ram 2500 4x4 with the 6.7L. I am looking for a semi conversion (Big Wheel Kit), for it but I have a single wheel. Does anyone know if there is such a thing for my truck?? Thanks in advance

Look up American Force wheels. They have a wheel called a Super Single. I looks great on 3/4 ton trucks. They always have advertisements in Diesel Power, with pics of that wheel...

Sounds like he's looking for a set of floaters.

Yep. I've only seen them on the advertisement in Diesel Power. They on a F-250, but they look good.

I am guessing the alcoa is what i was looking for. Not the 22 or 24" rims, but the "Semi" look a like. I will check it out. Thanks again.

Lilboy1023 · 08-09-2008, 03:47 PM

Sorry, I forgot to mention that I have 20's on there now and think that they are big enough, but I would be willing to upsize if I needed for the "Semi" conversion.

***SouthernCummins*** · 08-09-2008, 04:02 PM

Just for reference....I think you have to have 8" or more of lift to be able to run Floaters/Super Singles. Due to the fact that the smallest tire they make for that rim is like a 39" tire. I could be wrong, someone correct me if I am. I believe PRCABullfighter(Justin Clark) has them on his truck. You might PM him and find out what he has on for his setup.

I do have the 22.5" Alcoa's on mine you can check out some pics in my garage here. My truck is a SRW and I got them through Truck Adaptor & Wheel - Chromewheel.com Main Page. Couldn't be happier either :thumbsup

I only had to do a 2" leveling kit for clearance too. I believe for the 24.5's you'd have to do the 6 or 8: lift but for the 22.5's you only need to do a leveling kit on the 4x4's.
