19.5 alcoas

I want to put 19.5 alcoas on the chassis for my COE car hauler project. It's a 2002 E-450. My plan is to go to F-550 rearends for the bolt pattern and bigger brakes but what do I need to do for the front end? Can I just switch out spindles and hubs/brakes or do I need the I-Beams also. I figure weight on the front end will not exceed stock 450 limits. Any thoughts? Ray

Just use Rickson Wheel Manufacturing and get 19.5 inch wheels with the proper bolt pattern and backspacing for your vehicle.

Post a picture of your hauler when you get a chance, please. COE's are just too cool.
