F450 Toyo 245/70 19.5 M920’s

I just replaced the stock tires with Toyo’s 245/70 19.5 tires. These tires fill the wheel wells out better.

Any shots from the rear? The gap between the rear tires on my F450 kind of bugs me. The gaps really make the tires look skinny.

how much does this raise the height of the truck and bed? I pull a 43' DRV and bedrail clearance is already too close while trying to maintain a level rig

That is a great tire choice , I have run them on several trucks ... Did you have the Spare tire done ? Only big issue people run into mounting 920's on stock wheels is rotation of tires .
My last set I put on 19.5 x 6.75 wide Accuride but they were steels , they sit a lot flatter than mounted on 6.0 rims .
Truck looks good .

That gap is just big enough for me to squeeze my hand in to release my locking air chuck or unscrew my TPMS sensors. I wish it was 1/2" bigger.

You can also see the Centramatic wheel balancing disc.


Plenty of space between the two wheels.

I had the tire dealer install longer valve stems on the two inside tires.

If you compare the differences in tire diameter and then cut it in half for how much is raises the truck, its about 1 inch. (31.7->33.6)

The tire is only approved for 6.75" though, and we have 6" wheels. I doubt Les Schwab would be willing to install them.

Are you running weights with the centramatics?

I run the Cs on my '17 450--no weights. They recommend you not run weights with the Cs.
Wish my truck was the Ruby Red, beautiful!!!
Mind saying what the cost of the Toyos were?

Yes I’m running weights per recommendation of the tire dealer who is a Centramatic also.

I’m thinking about pulling the weights off of the front and outer rear tires. The cost of the new tires were less than $2,400 installed. I have a buyer for my takeoffs which will offset the cost. At 65MPH, I’m turning 2,000 RPM’s.

I have Centramatics on the front and Balance Masters on the back of my F450. They ran much smoother when I pulled the weights off.
