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.
