19.5 wheels

Are there tires available that will fit those wheels larger then 33 inches tall?

I'm being told in the Facebook group with my 6.20 rear and .61 6th gear and 31.9 inch tires I'll be turning over 4k to run 65 mph.

But this calculator says otherwise...

Given the numbers you provided, with a common 225/70-19.5 @ 31.9"......3200 rpm, (which is ideal for an FT motor) you are gonna cruise at 80 mph in OD. Probably a tad bit faster than your rig if an oldie but goodie was supposed to go down the road. Good luck, and be safe.

I don't plan on pushing the truck past 65.

Anyone have pictures of a F600 with 225/70-19.5 tires?

.61 is a pretty tall over drive
What transmission is that
My ZF6 is .72 OD, that would put you at 69 mph at 3200
When I put a 5.9 Cummins in my F-450 at 2700 it would top out at 69 mph with 4.88’s

How wide are your 19.5s? A 6” rim is spec’d for the 225/70 while a 6.75” rim is spec’d for a 245/70 at 33” even. If you have the wider rims you might be able to run 255/70s at 33.6” tall. Even if you have the 6” rims an 8R19.5” at 33.5” is a better choice than the 225/70. I’ve seen lots of early F-6s with the 5 x 8” pattern using 8R19.5s. Stu

Picked up a set of 8R19.5 wheels and tires this weekend to replace the Widowmaker wheels. A bit smaller then the 8.25-20 tires on there now.
I'll run these seeing i got a great deal and look for 22.5s in the meantime or save up to upgrade axles.

New wheels

I would look for an early 80's F 600 donor for wheels and or higher geared rear axle.
