Upgrading tire and wheel size

[Andyfarmer]

I have a 2013 Newmar Bay Star 2901. It has 19.5" tires. Is it possible to upgrade to 22.5?

Well, anything is possible, it's just how much money you want to throw at it. The suspension and running gear is sized for the 19.5" wheels, so I suspect you'd be spending more than if you traded it in on a 2015 that comes with the bigger chassis and 22.5" wheels. Any particular reason for the wanting the larger tires?

I am looking at a 2015 Bay Star 3124 with 22.5. I drove it today and felt it had less sway and the ride felt a little softer. It does have the 22,500 chassis which may also make a difference. This is most likely the way I will go. It is just a lot nicer all the way around.

Would be cheaper to buy 2015 and you probably could not upgrade 19.5 up.
