What all components did you put on your truck? Are you running bags? If so, which ones and how heavy do you tow with it? Do alright?
Standard wheels are rated for 3640lbs each, so unless you are running more than 7300lbs on either axle, I wouldnt worry about it. Most tires people are running on these trucks aren't even rated for much more than the wheels.
If you tow a 5th wheel toybox you will approach or exceed 7,300 on the rear axel - still they standard wheels are strong and likely fine for street use - but you plan on "spirited" off road driving or towing heavy (12k +) then the HD wheels are a nice insurance policy with a bit more strength.
Cool, I dont have an F350 so I'd actually be curious to see how that math works out based on GVWR/ Rear GAWR to get to that. Highest GVWR I could find online for an SRW F350 is 11,400lbs so the only way you could get there is having basically nothing else in the truck and only 4,100lbs on the front axle (my wee little F250 gasser rolled across the scales with 4300 on the steer axle, for reference).
Along those lines, here's my info:
I am running the regular versions and I tow 15k occasionally. No problems after 3 years. Perhaps I should switch to HD’s.
OT - That is the problem with 5th wheel toyboxes - they are just heavy and for anything north of 36' they really are dually territory! I have a ATC 3619 (36'), which I bought as it was the max trailer I would tow with my F-350 Tremor. Loaded it is about 16k (16.8k GVWR) and the pin weight is pushing 3,400 lbs. (versus ATC claimed 3,050 lbs.) and that is with a SXS in the back to help with pin weight. When looking at my max payload - it is at or near the limit - when you look at the scales ticket shows you are close to max of rear axel rating as well - so realistically a dually would be a better tow vehicle choice - but for the 80% of the time the truck is not towing that load and has a lot more uses than I could get out of a dually. So like everything it is a compromise - just trying to make it all work!
There is a set of methods off marketplace by where I live for $1000 with TPMS and Lugs, guy only had them on his truck for 5 months then traded it in. Im thinking of reaching out see if he'll take $800 cash but I want to make sure these will have the tires sticking out of the wheel well by about 1 - 1.5 inches is that about what these wheels provide with the -12 offset?
Summed up perfectly.
Dont feel bad. I just ordered a set of machined polished aluminum wheels for my Tremor in carbonized grey. I was born in 80s and still like the look. THink the black wheel craze is overplayed now day.
Ordered Racelines new wheel and stripped and fully polished them.. waiting on my new truck.
