Switched to 19.5's 3500 Dodge SRW
I've been wanting to switch to 19.5's to feel more secure while towing. I chose the Toyo 608z 265 75 19.5". So far they are great.

- Hub concentric will be putting most of the weight on the hub center sticking past the drum or disc base. Lug concentric will carry the weight across all the lug nuts. Typically, hub concentric uses flat lug nuts while the the latter uses tapered.
- Thanks I am learning a lot here never given much thought into the rims/tires before.
What is the difference with hub or lug concentric? - Also making excellent bumpers for the RAM is http://www.buckstopinc.com/
- American Force, Rickson and Vision make 19.5 rims for 8-lug trucks.
- How hard is it to find rims for pick up trucks in that size? I thought that size rim were used mainly in MDT trucks.
- Exactly.
- Just wanted to make sure I understand...you switched the rim size because the 19.5 tires come in higher load ratings that typical LT tires in the 17,18,19,20 size?

Just a heads up I was told the lowest recommend pressure is 70 psi because of the 15 degree taper of the wheel bead.
This is what stopped me earlier when I checked on 19.5 rims and tires. It's got to be a little ruff bobtail with 70 PSI out back.
It is not so bad for me because I have a 3000lb commercial cap on my truck that gets unloaded only when I will be using the camper.S Davis wrote:
