Get a set of direct bolt on 19.5s and you wont have to worry about the added weight of the adaptors. You will be just fine with aluminum wheels. You would still be ok if you ran 4 aluminum wheels and 2 inner steel wheels.

Again, me and Rye both run the 22.5s and also use adaptors. Neither one of us have had any problems. I can't tell any difference between my setup and 37"s on stock wheels.

Your truck will handle the 19.5s easy.

It doesn't sound like 19.5's are for you, I couldn't be happier with mine.

I've got six of the Brentz wheels on my truck and have been pretty happy with them. They are expensive but very nice wheels. I had a problem with the balancing of my wheels when I got them and Brentz spent around a grand to ship and have the wheels balanced properly. They definately take care of the customer! I run the Goodyear g124 tires in the 245 size and have not noticed any power loss. I do run aluminum inners though.

Got any pics Newblue? What wheels did you get?

Newblue

Sorry for the late reply, I just got back online. I got some wheels called retro 6. I have pictures but do not know how to resize them. I can e-mail them to someboby here if they can post them for me.

Thanks,
Mike

Have you tried getting a photobucket account? That's the easiest way to manage photos and videos, etc. Photobucket usually resizes the pics for the most common file sizes on the internet, just for forums like these or easy sharing. If you go this route, when your pics are loaded you can click on the IMG address and copy it to the message box.

Hopefully this will work.

Very nice set up. I went away from the g124's cause I heard sometimes they were hard to balance and could be a little out of round, but they are one good looking tire.
IMO debadge and remove the crome bumper stop deal on the side of the doors (or have it color matched) and you will have yourself one clean good looking rig again just my opinion.

The G124 problably are hard to balance. I took them to two local shops and niether of them could get it right. That's when Brentz wheels shipped them to Rickson and they were able to balance them. I sure hope I don't have a blow out and have to ship one tire! I wouldn't mind color matching the trim but I'm working on the wife to get some air bags so that will be out of the question for a while. Since the pics I've added a leveling kit and three more PIAAs to the bumper.

I'm also debating about getting a set. I'm tone between steel and aluminum. I know I can get steel in 19.5x7.5 (heavy) but only can find aluminum in 19.5x6.75. If you all that have 19.5 wheels on your rig could you post some pictures?

That's a good looking truck Newblu!!! I see you got you a photobucket account, eh?

Thanks for the compliments and thanks for the photobucket tip. It wasn't too bad putting pics on photobucket.
