If you want 19.5" wheels on a F53 that was originally equipped with 16" wheels.........Here is where you go........but, get out your credit card!

Yes, it's expensive, but does safety and peace of mind have a price? The 16" XPS RIBs are at the top end of their max pressure on the F-53. A 19.5" tire on the F-53 is at the bottom of it's pressure range. The wheel is still rated about the same rating as the 16" wheel, so even though you have a large weight range available on the 19.5 tire, you can't use it because of the wheel rating. To me it's still worth the cost. It only took one blowout on a front 16" XPS RIB to convince me.
