Yes the HD upgrades you had: 17.5, 18.5, 19.5 sizes available.

My truck came with the optional 19.5 rims as ordered by the Canadian government when they ordered the truck new. The guy I bought the truck from... THREW THEM ALL AWAY AT THE DUMP!!!!!!.... about 10-15 years ago because he said the tires cost too much!!!
So he got cheap 16" rims and tires and all those rims are lost forever!

I have had my truck for over two years and it still shocks me when I think about that!
