No 19.5 Alcoas get Eagle Alloys. That's what is going on mine. Cheap with several different styles. I'm not sure if lowered 5-8 you'll have enough fenderwell for a 32" tire

Not around here..


Got the carpet, seats pretty much done. Still need to be gone over again in the spring, but looks great, considering it is 34 deg here.. If I get a nice day tom, the stripes, flames will hopefully start coming off....

Plus adapters and machine work. Plus narrowing the rear so they don't stick out because each wheel is 8.25" wide and stock 16s are 6" then there's the weight. Each wheel and tire setup weighs (according to what I was told by TN Wheel and Tire) 75 pounds more. 75x4 equals an additional 300 pounds of rotating mass on the rear axle. Yeah 22s are super. Plus running a tire not rated for the towing capacity of a dually
