newbie 22.5 wheel ?'s

Whats up fella's I am new to the big wheels scene and have a couple of ?'s. I have a 86 square body crewcab 4x4 1 ton and I am having a hard time deciding on what to do as far as wheels. I don't know if I should convert the truck to a dually and run 22.5 wheels or get them milled down to 22's or should I run a 22.5 float setup? What isa float 22.5 setup consisted of and what wheels are needed for this? I don't want a very wide rim on the truck. I plan on putting a traction tire on the wheels weither I go dually or float. Also what does it cost to mill down a 22.5 to 22 or should I just stick to a 22.5 rim. PLease help.

This is a dually forum so the opinions may be a little biased...
In my neck of the woods it's $125 a wheel for milling.
I don't know what a "float" setup is but I have always wanted to see a square on super singles. And super singles require adapters just like 22.5's.

Yes they do. you still need to go from 8 lug to 10 lug.

A float or "full floater" is used on most dump trucks and other on highway equipment that would go off road from time to time.the term comes from the fact that the wider tires keep the truck from sinking in the soft stuff. they are used on steer tires and look simular to a super single in some ways. the tire selections are better than the super singles and look great on 4x4. there is around a 6"off set defference from a regular rim and around 2" wider. (i can get specs when i get back to work).IMO this would be the setup i would run on a 4x4 NON dually. hope this helps.

Run the float wheels, you would just need the wheels, tires and adapters. Lock( ) could fix you up with the adapters. I don't think you could find much in the way of a traction tire in 22", so I would keep it 22.5" and run the heavy truck tires, they should last forever.

First of all welcome to the site.

Since you said you don't want a wide rim on the truck then I would say the supersingle is not for your because they only come in widths of 12.25, 14.25, and 16 inches wide. Also another problem with these are if you are staying with the 22.5 the smallest tire you can get is nearly 42" tall, which would require somewhere in the neighborhood of a 12-15" lift.

I build what we call a mini-supersingle wheel that is only 9" wide and it can be run in 2 different offsets depending on how you want them to fit on the truck. You can also run this wheel with a 22.5 traction tire like you want in a size of 255/70/22.5 (Sumitomo ST908 is our preferred brand). These tires measure almost 36" in height.

Missed the didn't want wide tires, disregard my answer. I was thinking lifted 4x, rocking big tires.
