The 16-inch rims really crowd the front brake calipers, I wouldn't go less than 17". So... with 17", I find a lot of good products out there, right on the shelf. Discount Tire is OK for wild rubber, but I'm not the expert here - I'm more of a 70K-mile tire guy.

Does the 450 have bigger brakes, might have to check if even 17's will clear, not just brakes but steering/suspension components. And what's the bolt pattern, I thought it was a little bigger than 8x170, like 8x225, limits you on wheel choices.
What size tires are you running 225's, 245's?
Here's a website that shows more 19.5's together than I've ever seen, any of these aggressive enough? Rickson Wheel Manufacturing

There's noting cheap with 19.5 tires or wheels. You will not find a 16 or 17 inch rim to fit the 19.5 hubs. A 245/70R-19.5 is an oversize tire for those rims, but you could get them on with a lot of work.

I'm on the fence about retreads but I have read some good reviews of these tires and are as aggressive as you'll get on a 19.5 https://www.treadwright.com/individu...245-70R19.50-G

Crawl under your truck and try and put one finger between the rear caliper and wheel...you will see why smaller wheels won't work. The F-450/550 trucks have 19.5 wheels for a reason.
