I'm considering putting 22.5 wheels on my 2007.5 dually. Am I taking a risk? They look great but I don't want to risk any problems with the drive train.

Depending on the dealer may cause problems. They could deny any wheel bearing problems etc w/bigger tires. Do I tink theyll harm the truck no but if you modify it they may have grounds to deny you.

Are you going with the low profile or the truck tire? When I looked into the 22" lowpro tires they do not make them in E rating however some are rated for the weight. the truck tires are taaallllllll.:D

The wheels are truck tires and the total height of wheel and tire is 37inch. the tires are E rated there a 16 ply tire.

You may have to install spacers to prevent sidewall issues...depending on what kind of loadings you are looking at...

They perform the same as stocks. No harm to drive train or payload. Just got a set of 22.5 classics for my 3500
