I see that there are 2 different offsets to the 12.25 rim and those big floats are usually speed rated at 65 mph.
PM me if you want
I am just doing it because I thought it would look cool. It has nothing to do with function. Michelin rates the speed at maximum weight plus a fudge factor. I have ran my dually well north of a 100 on 22.5's and I have yet to see one come apart. Granted the entire truck only weighs 9k. As long as I can cruise at 75 and hit an occasional 85 getting a run on a long grade if conditions allow. ..I'm good. I will never be over 14.5k on the front axle so I should have some cushion on the mph limit. I only saw one offset though. I want to tuck it all to the inside if I can. Do you have the part #'s for the 2 offsets? I was looking at part #824621DB.
