I put the 19.5 inch tires and wheels on the fuzion.

I got tired of having the china bomb blow outs. 2 blew and one broke belts,I was lucky enough to see it before it blew.This all happened in a year and a half.I have been on this site looking for info. I got a few bits and pieces and found a diesel power article my brother told me about.I saw one guy typed that was the best thing he did on his 5er.
So this is what I did. I got the vision wheel hauler 81 part #81A9781MO this has the standard center cap this wasn't deep enough for mine so I had to replace my dust caps that were barely short enough. I don't know if the deep center cap would be sticking out too far your liking but you could just put it on with no worries. This wheel is rated for 4500 lbs.There is a black (81A9781MBO) one and the machined finish(mine) available.

This leads us to tires, I got the Dunlop SP348 in a 225/70r19.5 these are g rated at 3,9?? lbs each so I have a little wiggle room on capacity.the Fuzion 322 has tandem axles and a big space between the tires so clearance isn't an issue. the height is about 1.5 to 2 inches higher then the original 235/80r16 that it came with.I have at least 4 inches clearance over the tires. I had previously added the Mor/Ryde SRE/4000 center links.This may have got me some more clearance but also increases the tire travel.

This is what I did i would have loved to have been able to just use a michelin rib but they were not rated for the weight of the rig the good year g 614 was but had a 75 mph speed rating, st tires were worse at 65 mph. Right or wrong this is what I did I can only wish anyone the best of luck with whatever they decide to do.

I got prices on everything the Bfg ST230 steering tire was cheaper by a few dollars but none were available and we had no date for when they would be. So I have just about $500 per tire and wheel.I believe the commercial tire is a good route to take for longevity. the rim is made in china but I was pleasently surprised with the visual quality of the rim. The tires are made in the U.S.A. mine had a date code of 1114 and I got them a week ago so another plus.

I hope this helps someone with a choice and cuts out some guess work for you. Again good luck with your choice.

Missed why you went with 19.5, instead of 17.5? 17.5 is a big step up in capacity from 16's.

I felt the 19.5 tires would be higher quality being an all position tire and easier to get one if I did have a blowout away from home.

I just put the G614's on my Fusion 315 and am very happy with them. I am not ever going to tow 75MPH anyway since it kills my mileage.

They were the only ones i could find that were available. Rickson can make a steel wheel but it was more expensive. I really didn't want aluminum I thought steel would be better cause of tightening issues with the factory rims but after the first 30 miles these seemed to stay tight To ocean city from Rock Hall via Galena and Dover.If someone else makes the 19.5 for a single wheel dodge it will work as long as the hole fits your hub which it should The pattern is 8 lugs on 6.5 in centers but the wheels need to be tapered for an acorn nut to hold it center by the lugs.You can try ALCOA they might make something but I couldn't find them for single wheel application.

One guy put the 245/70r19.5 on his 5er but they got pretty big(like 34") in my opinion.

Also It was a wing and a prayer for only being able to find 2 guys who have done it that didn't tell of any other mods to the trailer. I still felt like I took a leap of faith. I do think they are a decent looking rim.

I put a set of the Vision rims on my '04 Dodge (SRW) with the Michelin XRA 245/70r19.5 to increase load rating! Love them!!! Nearly 10,000lb load rating at 120psi. After 10k miles, no problems at all, well except for the tread squirm for the first several thousand miles. May consider them for the TH, although I don't think I'll have the required clearance on the triple axle.

I would measure really good and check the 225 not the 245.you could always go to Mor/Ryde and get them to get everything set up for airbags ,disc breaks and the 245/70r19.5. I'm good at spending other people's money. Good luck.

Yeah that is still beyond me I was answering the thing about the weed in the driveway.

Edit: It worked thanks.

I had them sprayed last week they are just waiting to die.
