My truck came with 285 20's. These are 265's but because of the wheel offset they stick out just a little bit but are the same height. These tires are BEASTS. They are rated at 5500lbs each at 110 psi.

I have been thinking of upgrading to a Toy Hauler but will be over my tire ratings. My truck weighs 10k pounds with me in it ready to tow.
Here is my slip with my current camper and it's not a heavy unit.

How the He!! do you get 5,780# on your front axle?

I am confused is the new toy hauler being considered over old tire ratings or your new ones?

I have close to 6K pin and my front axle is not at your weight????

Jimf1234 what wheels are those?

looks good, how does it ride?

Those look really good. I was unaware that they are so close to the same diameter as stock.

They don't look like 19.5s to me, looks more like a 17"-18" wheels unless pics are before you put them on. Not saying there not but sure doesn't look like the 19.5 setups I've seen in the past.

Here is previous truck with 19.5 Vision heavy hauler wheels and tires next to stock 17" factory forged aluminum wheels and high load index Nitto tires.






Stock wheel and Nitto on outside second pic.

Nice truck and wheels! Vision or Ricksons? Had 19.5 Visions on my previous 2006 Ram CTD. Nice wheels but had front end woes on 3rd generation truck. Balance, Wheel hub assemblies, and lug studs breaking... But liked the increase in weight capacity.

Ditto, the rims in the bed look bigger to me too.

Must just be a optical dillusion.

The wheels in the bed are 20's.
