Thank you! It looks subtle and clean. I really like how it came out. Appreciate you man 👊🏼

In my opinion they do not look stock. They look terrible in my opinion. What makes em look bad is the center cap in the front rims, looks like he couldnt afford real alcoas

Thank you!

Thank you man!! Really appreciate it

Thanks man! Appreciate that!

Hell ya never nice, ya you don’t want 19.5s for off road you’ll definitely hate yourself,

Appreciate it!

Oh ya I figured they would wear out quick I was just hoping not as quick lol. And thank you! I appreciate it!

Oh ya after the first free maintenance everything has been done by myself.

Sweet. Honestly surprising stock tires have some capabilities lol

Very nice! All trucks have their issues here and there, I couldn’t recommend this truck enough to Anyone who tows a lot it’s a game changer for sure, definitely go and test one out I’m sure you will enjoy it.

Nice!

Amen to that! You definitely appreciate thinks much more when you work your ass off for it. Appreciate you my man.

Solid!

Very nice! Happy you saw the video. It’s a good game changer for sure happy it was helpful for you And heck ya cheaper insurance for the win. That’s definitely a good expense for you guys with MC #s

@@IManOPERATOR have you had an issue with it grabbing the road grooves? I drove mine from east tx to California and on my way back it seemed to start randomly swerving really bad. It would be fine for a long time and then just start swerving for a minute, then right back to straight with no issues. It drove perfectly out there so it really freaked me out when it started acting weird. And it seemed to do better on not so good roads after it started acting weird.. the only thing the shop could think of is that maybe I should upgrade my steering stabilizer (I’ve got a new one in the mail)

@@jonalvarez4790 the tires do track a lot on the concrete grinds or being in any ruts in the road especially when they are new. Get a bit of tire squirm in the beginning. After they’ve broke in for me they ride much better.

@@jonalvarez4790wandering is normal with skinny tires. Makes it alittle worse now that the tires are drastically harder than traditional tires an don’t conform to ruts and bumps like a softer tire will somewhat do.

@@MonsterTruckingCo. that’s true. And I did notice a slight difference when I started running the steers at 75 and drives at 85psi. They’ve got over 30k miles on them now and they’re holding strong with daily towing. I really think 100-150k miles is definitely possible at this point. And I think they ride a little smoother than the factory sized Michelins I had on it before (aside from the wandering)

Keep her Going man! Bad ass

Appreciate it man. Not sure how I forgot to say what I bought lol They are northstar wheels with BFGoohrich route control S in the front and Route control D in the rear

Thank you! Really appreciate that. Always!

Hell ya man! 👊🏼👊🏼👊🏼

Exactly what I wanted to stay away from. It was a big chunk but best choice I’ve ever made

😂 I’m over there way to dam often 😂

@@IManOPERATOR but y’all have fun 😂😂🤙

@@lyndonhamby7432 hahahahaha sure as hell 😂😂

Always trying to reply to videos! Doesn’t matter how old, These wheels have the same offset as stock. They don’t stick out past the body line on the truck at all. Technically the outside bulge of the side wall is about flush with the body

Thank you! You can if you want to. These wheels come with larger lug nuts though. The flange seemed to be thicker compared to the oem ones. However oem ones would still work and you could then install the oem caps back on

It would be nice! These 19.5 wear so much better and longer life over the 17” wheels and tires

I had the BFgoodrich route controls, honestly didn’t like them at all, the continental HDR+ is what I’ve been using this year they are 10x better

You got it right on the head. Trust me I was in your same boat, honestly when I have the time or money. Buying a 5500 front axle for this truck and flare it she’ll be perfect then.

The 19.5 definitely fill the wheel well better it looks proper for this truck

Stayed the same size as the ram 4500-5500 tires and wheels for the front end are nearly with in 10lbs of each other. People putting 35s on their trucks do more damage then these ever will if anything. This was something i definitely looked into the before doing this. I definitely didn’t want to add any more rotational mass to the truck or unsprung weight to it. A lot of people that do this do 8 to 10 lug adapter pushing the wheel further from the bearings causing more stress and also run 265-275 tires instead of the 225 oem size to “look cool” adding the the extra mass and rolling resistance. Definitely don’t want to mess with the gear ratio of the truck and make sure I don’t stress it out anymore then I already do with the loads she Hauls. I completely understand where you’re coming from. I’ve seen the same faults happen before but it’s from everyone running oversized everything.

@@IManOPERATOR That's good to know info man, appreciate it 👍

@@alandillon6469 you know it!

Thought about it but it’s not a dyer thing to do

You’re correct, however my wheels are 19.5 however the over all tire is the same size as oem. I never increased the size cause of what I tow. I don’t want to mess with any gearing on the truck

I appreciate it! Been running then as long as this video is old, had them since 13k miles I’m over 60k now. Best choice I’ve ever made. You can’t go wrong with these.

I’ve known growing up 16.5 where shitttttyyyy lol always blow a beads. You get into the 17.5-19.5 get the heavy duty tires and you’re set for sure. The beads are different and the mount “easier” in a way not always needing a tire machine. And I appreciate that. I’m happy I finally Got around to doing this been a long time coming

Follow me on Instagram I’ll post up a photo this afternoon of the wear on the tires

Thanks man, and soon congratulations lol I don’t have a link I get my tires where ever and whoever has the best deal however they are BFgoodrich route controls Steer in the front and drives in the back. Rear drives are a snow rated just FYI. So a bit softer compound however I’m a solid 20k miles in on these tires and theyer wearing very well. I think I’ll take them another 10-15k and going to get a new set

lucky u, mine has been on order since jan......

I’m not an adapter fan, people have done it I’m sure. But I don’t like or trust adapters especially with what I do

Offset is the nearly the exact same on these wheels. Same size offsets and oem tire size nothing here to accelerate any wear.

Yes you can install factory tpms, if you want to, I didn’t they always break so I’ve just did away with it.

Haha really appreciate it my man! I actually have a video posted up doing a 20k review. But in short little comment here. She’s a dam mother trucking beast of a girl. Couldn’t be happier.

I guess I should of mentioned that in the video 😂 Went to buytruckwheels.com they where nearly the only sight that made buy in a set of wheels easy and all in one with no issues. Had to wait about 3 weeks to get a set from back order.

@@IManOPERATOR Awesome Sir. Thanks! Did you go with the 225’s or 245’s?

@@coobreeze9 anytime. Went with 225s wanted to stay stock size to keep that ratio as low as possible. 👌🏼

No she’s a very tight fit no play in the system at all. I’ve never had a gooseneck back rattle around on me

@@IManOPERATOR I didn't actually mean the gooseneck itself, I mean where the ball slides into the OEM receiver on the truck? It riddles around a bit and makes me nervous.

I had tpms go out in my truck back to back wasn’t worth the money or time to put them in since they have always crapped out for me. No issues I just scroll past the menu when I first start up my truck and I’m good to go.

You can install tpms, my luck tho they always fail so I didn’t even bother with it, but you can get oem ones installed just get them for the 5500 truck since they install differently from the 17” wheels, Speedo is the same no change since it’s the same overall size as oem with the tire and wheel package unless of course you want to get larger tires

So those tires where “okay” nothing special. But I swapped tires in aug, to continentals and they are doing amazing in the rain and snow. Believe it or not they do great

Best thing I’ve done. Over 9k miles on them already still like brand new. Lasting and wearing much much better than all the old sets I’ve had

Rpm’s are the exact same. Tires are still oem size and weight. Better mpg I can’t say still floats around 13-15mpg same as with the 17”s

Not at all stock overall size same as the 4500-5500 tire size

I haven’t noticed any excess of wear on anything with the truck, just passed 50k on her too, wheels and tires are with in 10 lbs if I remember right over the stock ones not much change what so ever. And they are the “stock” size to keep the gearing the same

@@IManOPERATOR oh wow yeah 10 lbs isn't much, I was definitely expecting more. Since my ball joints are shot anyway I'm going to go ahead and replace them with HD ones and order some 19.5s

@@manwithnoname734 hell ya do it once do it right! You’ll have no issue there

Not at all. I don’t have any leveling kit on this truck. These tires are the stock size compared to the 17” wheels and the same size on the ram 4500/5500 trucks

Definitely one thing I forgot to talk about. Truck does have tpms. The valve stems that came with the truck don’t accept tpms. I looked around for a few out there and everyone was a few weeks out on getting them back in stock for 110psi stems. And dealer didn’t have any either so I said screw it. But you can definitely make them work with the new wheels. If I have some extra time I’ll swap out the stems and get the tpms back on the truck. It’s never been something I care about. But also nice to have at times

Haven’t towed with it just yet, I’ve driven about 40 miles so far and it’s beyond smooth. And I love that 19.5 road Howell they make. I thought it would be a rougher ride but like in the video. It’s not anywhere near as bad as I thought it would have been. What do you mean by less tow loads?

Lol you’re good a lot of people don’t know about it, but Two together for the rear duals will completely eat them alive and a good chance to cause failure at the studs and snap a wheel off. Since two soft metals one can’t retain the other and with a larger steel face to sit on there’s no way for that issue to happen. I think that’s the best way I can explain that.

Couldn’t agree more! I’m always checking my truck and trailer for any issues. Never feel comfortable to just hit the road and not know if something is wrong, honestly with the rear suspension she doesn’t sag much at all truck sitting just past level in the heaviest of my tows. Still airbags will be in the future when funds aren’t so tight. But not a needed thing right now at least.

@@IManOPERATOR Timbren stops work great especially since u have no bags, even adding a leaf would be a huge difference??

These where the bfg route controls (they sucked) 2nd set was the continental hdr+ those where absolutely awesome but the amount they went up in price it’s hard to spend that much now

I guess I meant to say recap tires on the front never a good move

Appreciate it! It’s a great upgrade if you’re capable to. Running the BW ball it’s way better then the curt system, don’t have to touch any grease when you remove it 👌🏼

Thank you sir. Keep up the great content

@@Thejohnmullen hell ya will do appreciate it man 👊🏼

I got the set from buy truck wheels.com only site I found that had what I wanted and had true proper sets ups. Wheels themselves where 2k. Tires I shopped around for a few days and out of no where found these route control BFGs on a good sale. $550 per tire then found a site that had them discounted down to about $350 per tire. Thanks man. I really like the looks too lol can’t wait to get some miles on her for sure

You can get them all day sets for 500 on ebay

Full set right now for 400$ on ebay

Thank you! And Alcoa as far as I know doesn’t make a 19.5 with the 8x200 lug pattern

Far as I know the two aluminum can start eating at each other and marble the surface. I guess depending on the year of the trucks you have but far as I know on all the newer trucks they have a steel inner from factory and they don’t have alcoas so I’m assuming Theyer aftermarket if they are true Alcoa wheels

100000% happy with them. Best choice I’ve made for this truck hands down

Stock size like the 4500-5500 trucks 225/70-19.5

They are BFG route controls. G rating 87 mph 14plys

Running 95 psi all around seems to wear the best

Put the link in the description for ya 👊🏼

Oh man that set is long gone. About 33k miles, not half bad on to a set of continentals now

These are 225 70 19.5 OEM size to keep the gearing the same. These tires lasted me about 22k miles or so. I’m on set 3 with the 19.5s right now. Theyer lasting me about 28-32k miles a set. Pretty much sept-Oct every year I buy tires for the truck. It’s already payed for its self if you ask me.

Thanks for getting back to me.. At $1600 for a set of factory 18's The 19.5 rims will pay for them selves with not having to buy tires so often...that being said the 19.5 tires do costt more but in the long run give you more miles for your buck...I'm gonna give them a shot..after your 3 sets what brand did the best for you....I was hoping to go from 13.000 on 18 inch to 40.000 on 19.5 but that might be ambitious Thanks

1 more questions please...I've been doing alot of research about ride quality...let's say just truck no trailer....mixed reviews.. At first you thought it would be a terrible / rough ride....after you put the 19.5 on was the ride quality better or worse the expected....with stocks they are a bit rough....not looking for Cadillac smoth but don't want to have to wear a kidney belt either😅

@@mattmiller6671 sorry man just seeing this. If you want some good ride quality what’s on the list for me is HD shocks from Bakersfield CA Dude builds proper valves shocks for these trucks these are on the list for mine

Got the wheels from here buytruckwheels.com They where pretty quick on shipment also

225/75 19.5 are stock size tires

@@IManOPERATOR do you mean 225/70/19.5? I can’t find a single 225/75/19.5 tire on a google search

@@Subi_doo yes you’re correct sorry typed that wrong
