Ford E450 Tire Size
Has anyone here replaced the 16" wheels on their E450 chassis with 19.5" wheels ?

Hi harold,
I plan on larger width rims. I run 14,000 pounds fully loaded (full gas tank, full water tank, two persons, rack on back and food.)
I want to have a "cushion" above the 14,500 pounds the chassis is rated at. I want to have slightly greater ground clearance. I want to have a gentler ride.
There are, with the current 225 75R16 tires zero sway or handling issues.
My existing Michelin tires are from Jan 2004, and I have 100,000 kilometers (60,000 miles) on them. There are no wear issues on the tires, and plenty of tread. The RV was 5 years old with 7000 kilometers on it when I purchased it, in Feb of 2009. I drive it about 1600 kilometers (1000 miles) per month on average.
The rear duals are run at 80 psi and the front at 65 psi.
