Thinking of upgrading to 19,5" wheels on the c3500 (1984 dually)
What tires do you guys run that would equal a 235-85-16?
 
I think the only options in a 19.5 are 8R19.5, or 225/70/19.5. I think the 225's are the same height as the 8r's. I have 8r19.5's. I think my truck had 245/75/16's on it when I got it. And now to pic whore my truck...

A local junkyard I was at the other day looking for a used tire,has a lot of take off's in 19.5" sizes from lo-pro dually's and bread trucks...

Too bad the bud rims are offset too much,I thought those would look good on my plow truck,and being tall & skinny pizza cutters,probably do well in the snow too..I'm sure they wouldn't work up front,but in the rear they would probably..
 
The dually wheels work on srw trucks, you just gotta cut the centers out, have a centering ring laser cut, weld them in, and weld in 16" 8 on 6.5 bolt pattern wheel centers in. That's what mine are. Or if you got a dually, you just buy a Frito Lay truck and put those wheels on and put the Cummins from it in your truck.
