You know what? You're right. Let me re-phrase.
YOU SUCK!
In reality, those came out real nice. Gonna drop it a few " ? Looks like you've got the clearance still to do it.

Ah, and they're directional to boot! Dude, don't even attempt to bother with rotating them. When the fronts wear the edges down, and they will, just replace them. Let the rears go to the wear bars.

It already is dropped 3/5" which is pushing it on the 4X4. I still have some stuff in the works.

I had one of the first sets of WELD D-7 directionals on my first one. I don't think they even make them anymore.
VIVA LA DUALLY!

I have seen Welds lately, but I haven't seen the D-7s. I think they just dropped the directionals.

Yea, Weld makes them, just try getting a set!(of new 17" or something cool!) And of course Brentz does, that's what I got! And, they are 22" non adapter fitment. Now that's innovative! Where are the big guy's on that? :notam:

the big wheels companies don't want to touch 22-inch dually wheels because of the liability involved. There isn't a load rated low profile tire on the market designed for a 10,000 lb truck for them. For awhile there were some small companies milling down 22.5-inch alcoa wheels to fit 22-inch tires and Alcoa sent them all cease and decist letters becuase of the liability involved. Brentz wheels and several other small companies are the only ones that have stepped up. I run his 19's on my dually and like the 22's, there isn't a properly load rated tire available for them either.

That is not completely true, The tires I am running are Toyo Proxes S/T 305/45/22 which are max load rated at 2910 lb's each, compared to the take off's (General Ameritrac) which are rated at 2335 lb's each! Plus Brent has load rated these forged wheels way over the stock steel 16" take off's. So in theory, my truck is now capable of 3450 lb's additional Load rating, at least the wheels and tires are! But you are correct on your 19" import car tires, they are not even close to the correct load handling.

These are the tires 325/40/22 I am running on My 3/4 sub and I agree they are 2910 Lbs rated...... Now the Boyd billet 2 piece wheels I should find out about...........

More than likely, the Boyds are questionable. I have had several sets of their 17x10 wheels crack! :messedup: By the way, I believe we may be neighbors in LHC, I see a boat similar to the one in your signature parked along side a home down the street from me. My place is located on Angler. Good luck with the Boyds.
