Default Any have semi truck wheels on 07 up dually

I am thinking about putting 22.5 or 24.5 wheels on my dually. Any advise. Thanks

I lowered mine 6-8 and planned to install some 19.5s since they would still be rated for the weight of the dually and it's towing cap. Eagle Alloy makes a good looking 19.5, plus they are a direct fit

Are they shaved down to 24" or 24.5". Who did you get your wheels from. I am very interested in some. Your truck looks great, got any more pics of it. Thanks

Thanks for posting the link

As for the wheels, mine are machined down so they fit passenger tires. You can run the 24.5s with semi tires, but require a lift to do so. Bought the truck with the air suspension and wheels already on it. I know there are many places with the wheels now, tennessee wheel and tire, cwdima, reds miami, american force, dually wheels, etc. Lots of different styles, and some will even custom cut them, although I'm sure price is through the roof for that.

By the time you buy the wheels, adapters, and 6 tires you will be north of 6k

At least, depends on finish, brand and size of tires, etc

Ok I am going to do 22s. I have found a set of 6 22.5s new pretty cheap. Who can I get to machine them down? Thanks for the help.

as for machine work, go to a local tire shop and see where they recommend

depending on what your machining they may tell you its a bad idea, just sayin
