I wouldn't imagine you will find anything for something under a F450 for these, at probably around $1000 per tire, you wouldn't be able to rotate them onto the front and you would have to carry a special spare just for your backs.. in other words its doable but not feasible
Rickson Wheel sells 19.5 wheels to convert a drw to a srw. The heavier rated 19.5 tires will still allow you to carry your GAWR. I considered this to keep the width down and keep the weight rating. I was going to put an aluminum flatbed on the truck.
Anyone uses super singles on their trucks ( daily driver) ? I've been told they are lighter ?
Anyone with pictures ? All I can find is heavy modified trucks
Buckstop makes a pretty complete super-single kit where they are reversible (and only a single spare is necessary). Given the front bumper they sell with the kit and the tire sizes, I'm pretty certain it wont save you weight.
The big advantage of a super-single setup is to maintain weight capacity while improving offroad capability and durability. Because the setup weighs more, it is primarily used on chassis cabs where payload isnt as hard to come by. Buckstop is an Oregon company and we have tons of utility and fire vehicles that see 50%+ of the time off road.
Im on the edge of my payload already, and the super-single tires can have pretty negative effects on pavement (noise, vibrations, ride), so I'm looking at 19.5x7.5 dually rims and 285 Toyo 608Z tires all around.
I’ve seen them on a few show trucks but I don’t think they’re practical for anything else. Not sure if it translates to pickup trucks but it’s hard to find anyone at a-truck stop that actually likes them.
I have owned a few trucks with Super Single wheel sets , ones like Ricksons and Buckstop , also custom 18x20 rear wheels that made the truck look it was tubed but could not hold a load .
They all look cool but as others stated precatical application even Buckstops kit requires a lift and most big wheel conversions the smallest tire is a 38" tire .
Braking can be a issue even with a F450 , especially towing .
What ever floats your boat ... You can easily spend 10k + for wheels and lift done right .
Just my 2 cents .
I know this wont reduce the width but check out “dbl design” if you want the max capable super single setup. It is a complete setup including: military grade 3 piece aluminum beadlock wheels and mpt 81 (42” tall) tires, high clearance/coverage cutaway fenders, 2.5” level, shocks all around, 6.17 gears, brake upgrade, and full computer corrections like speed.
Due to to the high clearance fenders, you only need a 2.5in front leveling kit to run the 42” tires so it keeps the overall height and center of gravity pretty low. The 6.17 gears are to maintain the same final drive ratio with the 42” tires. The wheel/tires combo are rated at 7400lbs each allowing a f550 to keep its max rear axle rating. The front tires are pushed out 8” on each side vs a 250/350 (5” vs a 450/550) to allow you to still turn at the max angle, to have the same track width front to rear, and for the wheels to be rotatable. The brake upgrade maintains the stock stopping ability.
