Hey guys, I am looking to install Alcoa 19.5s 10x225 bolt pattern wheels on my 07 dually 8 lug. There is only 1 company that I can find that makes the adapters as the other places say the lug pattern is not safe. Has anyone done this conversion? My tires are shot and I don’t wanna spend money on OE replacements, would love to see some 19.5 Alcoa’s on these duallys, but I’ve searched for months and can’t find anyone doing this specific conversion.
I know American force makes the direct replacement 19.5s but to be honest, they don’t look as tough with the small lug pattern. If I’m going to spend 3-4K, I better love it. I have some F450 19.5s with huge center caps I want to install on the truck. I know it’ll look great but I can’t find anyone that has done it or used these spacers

If anyone has a 10 lug 225 conversion, please post pics!

For the money, you can get great looking F450 take offs with tires for less than the price of new Alcoa’s without tires. I personally love the look of the large Ford caps and the Alcoa’s. I’ll just change the emblem in the middle. And yes, I know it’s a Ford wheel (really an Alcoa) but don’t really care as I know it’ll look great on my truck with the large caps

Search button is your friend. Here is my thread on this subject. FWIW, I used Arrowcraft adapters.

thanks jimmy yep I’ve tried the search button but haven’t been able to find an answer specific to my question. I’ve been following your thread since the start and it’s been the most informative but I think yours are10x285 not a 10x225 wheel correct? Thanks for the great post, it has helped me a lot when I started looking at this project.

Correct, thus making your response and thread not useful in my situation as I’m looking for 10x225 adapters and someone who has successfully used them. They are more of an oddball adapter as the bolt patterns are close to each other. I am sure I am going to a 19.5 and understand the pitfalls of the 19.5 size thanks to your thread, but the initial
Question about the adapter remain to be answered. Thanks for your insight thus far, I’m sure someone has used a 10x225 adapter here. Thanks again!


Not quite sure what you are asking. If you are asking about the bolt hole pattern for the wheels on my dually they are 10 x 275. This may help:
