I read some where a while back that someone was rolling on either 19 or 19.5 off a delivery truck and they just bolted on? what would they be off of? and are they hard to find?

Thinking while i save up for 22 alcolas i could roll on these instead of my 16 fronts and 16.5 rears lol

Frito Lay delivery trucks roll on 8 lug 19.5's which are bolt ons for our trucks. Not sure where you could find them though!

i have a set with 245/70R19.5 cooper drive tires on all six. looks like serious off-road treads. less than a year old-about 3500 mi. on them.
can pick them up in buffalo ny area for $1600

Thanks for the offer but i have a 2wd and plan on 6/8 lowering it. now if you wanted to separate the rims and tires we might be able to work something out.

so just to clarify .. when you run those frito wheels, it was said they are direct bolt on, so even with your 6/8 drop your talking of running , you will be able to run all 6 of those wheels on your truck and be clear of rubbing issues ? i hope that question made sense. i am just curious.

With the 19.5's I don't think you will find a tire small enough to fit on a lowered truck. Hence the reason to go with 19's. Same deal on 22.5's that is why some have unsafely stretched a 22" tire on them

Does anyone know if the 19.5" steels can be machined down to 19"? I suppose if I search it...
