Those method rims are a great ideal to stay SRW

Thanks

Exactly the wheels I put on my F350 SRW. 4500 with 10 Ply Rated Tires.

Yes, for those who are intent on the “numbers” Methods are a great option and even look good unlike going to 19.5s where you can get any color or style as long as it’s that one color or style, lol.
That said, 19.5s ARE heavier duty than the “best” 18/20” with the best LT tires you can get.
2 different classes of tires. One made to “do it all ok” and nothing the best and one made the best for hauling and mediocre or uncomfortable and UGLY for everything else.
Back to OEM rims, this site has great anecdotal evidence that OE rims are absolutely fine at weights exceeding their rating. (How much idk, but 4klbs on each wheel doesn’t even give me pause.). Real world, I’ll recover to the 100s of HD trucks I’ve had or been around getting absolutely abused sometimes with weight. No broken wheels. Or the 100,000s of them on the road, doing what scares rvnet members to death, every day.
Factor of safety on OEM wheels is huge. Its too big of a liability for OEMs to cut corners when it’s too easy to make them just a little heavier duty than they “need” to be.
