    2017 Ford F350 19.5 inch wheel conversion

    Hi, I purchased a new F350 Ford in the spring. After 16,000 kilometres (10,000Miles) the tires are over half worn. I purchased a set of 8-10 bolt adapters to allow me to install 19.5 inch tires and Alcoa wheels. Hopefully we get better mileage from these tires.
