I have seen a few guys running the 22.5, a guy last weekend at the truck pull had those and said he had tried a few different setups but liked those the best. He did car hauling on the side was his reasoning.

Dude go to american force. They will have all your answers. If you are going to do it pony up and spend the big money on the aluminum dually inners. The steel inners hardly balance and given enough time will shake your truck apart. The best solution would be to run 19.5 wheels that are drilled to run as 8 bolt wheels. This way you do not need to run adapters thus giving you a lighter wheel and tire combo which means smoother riding, better braking and less loss of power.
