F450 wheels
Truck: 1999 F450, 8 x 225mm bolt pattern.
Does anyone know of an after market manufacturer for 19.5 rims? What I'm looking for specifically is a company that would make or be able to make rims to fit the rear so that I can run singles instead of duallies. Right now I have the outer tires/rims taken off. The rear track width is 5" (2.5" per side) less than the front (76" vs 71"). I need rims that will make up the 2.5" per side. I have talked to the guys at Ricksons, they have exactly what I need but they are in the R&D stage still and won't be available for several months.
Does anyone know of another supplier?
Thx.
Cory

If your goal is to move the rear wheel out 2.5" to track with the front, have you considered having custom bolt on spacer's made?

BTW my Ricksons have been flawless.

Didn't Four Wheeler magazine or someone else do a conversion that used alcoa's and the MTR's. I know it was a few years back but the idea was to not use such a wide track but still have the strength. I know ALCOA was used.
