22.5" wheels

[tmckenzie]

What modifications would need to be done to a 1992 W250 Cummins to convert it to 22. 5" wheels? Any prices and or suppliers ?

22.5's

I have seen a fjord with 22. 5's on it and it looked great! I have seen a signature on here that said he had them on his w350 I believe. But, both these trucks were dually's I don't think you could find single 22. 5 rims very easy. Regardless the truck I looked at had special machined adapters to bolt them to the stock hubs. Hope this helps. I would love to run a 19. 5 or 22. 5 myself but can't justify the expense!

Try this for big wheels, the floats are pretty awsome...

It's a Furd, but it's got 22. 5" rims.

I'm not sure how he did it, but imo, it looks pretty awful. I can understand the 19. 5" rims, but 22. 5 or 24. 5 is a bit large. Just my $. 02.

Yeah the 22. 5's are too much, but what I wouldn't give for a set of rickson steel 19. 5's ..... I'm saving my pennies but I keep finding ways to spend 'em... .



MAYBE RICKSON COULD HAVE A GIVEAWAY LIKE THOSE CLUTCH PEOPLE DID FOR THE GUYS RUNNING STANDARDS. . ?

I'd second that one Oo.

In my opinion....

If you need 22. 5" - YOU GOT THE WRONG TRUCK!

Im lookin more toward the fact that on 22. 5" wheels with floatation tires I can get over 200K possibly 300K miles out of one set of tires . Do the math on how many sets of tires that will equal out to. I plan on keepin my truck for a long while, so this might be a wise investment to save me some money in the long run.

Also look at the fact that your engine will turn slower at highway speeds. I would think that the extra 6 inches of tire diameter is no match for the low-end torque of the mighty Cummins The bigger tires are also good for rolling over the ricers
