I have a real good deal on some tires. Mine are 8/r19.5 looking to put on are 225 70 19.5 Michelin's. Craig list deal manufactured 12/16 15,000 miles, 500 dollars. Will these fit the rear Duals without interference.

Use this calculator and go measure your wheel wells.

This is from Google:

Tires sized 8R19.5 have a diameter of 33.1 inches, and 225/70 R19.5 tires are 32 inches in diameter. Changing tire sizes will result in a speedometer that indicates faster than the vehicle is actually moving.

My opinion, they will work fine. Speedo will be off a little maybe. Some speedos are off from the factory. Check with a GPS.

Edit; How many are you changing? You need to change all front ones or all rear ones.

Did tread calculations and width. They are .7 inches wider. It looks like they will not fit without interference in a panic situation and sharp fast cornering. I will buy a new set in Spring. That was 500.00 for six tires. Some one else wants them hit me up. Really nice set. He just put traction tires on his f-450 these were the take offs.
