19.5" Rickson Rotation

[skillsaw]

I have some 16" Chromed out Neepers on my truck right now with BFG's - I'm looking to toss on some 19. 5"'s. They look great!! I run through too much rubber on my truck (lots of miles!!). My question... ... I hate rotating these tires. I have to de-mount & remount & balance them each time. It's become a real hassle!! Are there any reversible heavy duty truck rime like the rickson's? Is there a secret I haven't found out yet? Or are the days of a driveway tire rotation over for me.....



Thanks all

Just rotate them like you would the stock wheels, that's what I do.

These rims are only 1 way - I can rotate the two rear outsides with each other, the fronts with each other & the inside rears (stock rims) with each other.

 

[skillsaw]

You can turn the Rickson's around? EX> Rear inside to front?

Like stock rims.

If that's the case, does anyone want to buy some Neeper rims?

why rotate them? they will dry rot before you wear them out!

So what is the most aggressive tread made for 19. 5 wheels. I would like something like the logging trucks use.

You could have them capped with exactly what the log trucks use. Most log trucks around here run caps. Availability of cases (if you don't want to wear them out yourself) is something I have not looked into.

hate to sound stupid and uninformed, but i guess this is how i get unstupid... are single rear wheel rickson rims reversible as well? all i have to do is put the trim ring on the other side? or does that only work on the rear rims for the dually?

so while i was driving home today (in wife's jeep... truck in for brake warranty work) i was thinking... . you can't turn the wheels around because the offset would be off... ... . right?

Yep and the valve stems would be on the inside

oops// on srw trucks

okay... . i'm sitting in the corner buck tooth with a dunce cap on for my penance... .



it's a wonder they let me walk around town without a hockey helmet on!!!



btw... i've got goodyear G124 in 265/70... . they've got a pretty aggressive tread and needless to say with the ss simulators and center caps (had to save a little money for them and the tires as i was getting every mile out of my bald skinny michelin XZA's) they look gooood!
