Can anyone suggest bigger tires for the F450 on stock rims?
I am also open to bigger rims

 

I know alot of people that run blinged out 22.5s but I think they are all lifted, I think out of necessity.

 

Because of the commercial truck tires sidewall stiffness that fit on 19.5" wheels, there is no alternate size that is compatible. One option, if you are willing to run aftermarket, American Force will make any other their wheel styles in as direct bolt on. They have to be in 22" size to clear the 450's brake calipers though. They tires you'd run on them would be LT and you would loose a lot of capacity, but it's doable.

 

What do you mean by capacity?
American force rims - are they direct bolt on with no modifications??
Also what are LT tires?

 

Are you sure you're ready for an F450. 😄

 

If you are looking for a larger width a problem with replacing duals with bigger tires is the space between the tires. These tires are fairly close together already, especially at the bulge on the bottom when truck is loaded. They cannot touch and require adequate ventilation between them to prevent heat build up.

 

Do you have a need for these modifications or are you just looking to make a "pretty" tricked out ride?

 

No need for modifications. I was looking to make the truck look pretty.

 

I hope so. I am getting it. We will see how it goes. Learning as we go.

 

What do you plan on towing with it?

 

I am thinking of getting a fifth wheel

 

Just to have a nice looking truck and towing a 5th wheel why not get an F350 dually and put 20" tires/wheels on it....readily available for 1/3 the cost of American Force.

 

LT= Light Truck tires, as in what is installed on every Super Duty except the 450. They will be 10 ply / 80psi max, and have less load capacity rating than the 12-ply / 100psi commercial tires which come on the 450.

Basically it's an option to bling the truck out at the expense of capability. I think the 19.5 tires look great as it is.

 

Thank you for explaining.

 

Can bigger tires be put on stock rims?
