So I have a '96 Chevy Crewcab Dually and I want it laying frame on 19s ... The guy at the local wheels shop told me they can't get a load rated 19 inch tire much less 19 inch dually wheels (Told me they can only get 16s, 22.5s, or 24.5s) ... I also want to be able to pull my 33 foot tag along camper with it ... So my question ... Can I safely tow my 33 foot camper and lay frame with 19s without it costing me $10,000 in custom wheels and tires?

you cant get a low profile tire for a 19 that is load rated but eveyone runs them anyway. you can get suv/small truck tires that have extra load rating over a passanger car tire i believe and i think thats what most people run. but idk alot about that kind of stuff so i could be wrong

go to brentzwheels.com he has a bunch of different style 19's for duallies. and does anyone really run a load rated tire just the chance you take to be custom.

You will have no problem towing with the 19s. I have customers that pull campers, trailers, and scrap trailers with 19s up to 24s on them and havent had any complaints. With the 19s a 245/40/19or 225/50/19 will do the job, but the key is matching the inner 16 with the right tire or just running all 6 19s.

Just put 19s of Trevs on my dually, I tow and they fit with a little fender lip work.



They fit good and ride like a dream....

Its far from laying frame....kinda like a 4x4 compared to the rest of the boys on here.

The front is an inch from sitting on the concrete. The back is....far from the concrete...
