22.5 wheels on my 2003 axles stopping going towing

So looking to do wheels for my tow rig and I am concerned how much it will hurt stopping towing and fuel mileage?

467,000 miles on 22" Alcoa's with a wheel bearing replacement around 300,000... Along with ball joints. But, that would be atypical. With the right E load tire will ride nice. I've only ran an E load Yokohama. G load tires on 22.5s would out last the truck.

Don't think it makes a noticeable change in fuel mileage (technically, it has to, these are heavy sh!ts).

I've never noticed a difference in stopping either. Fwiw.

Been rockin' cut Alcoa's since the time when you had to turn 'em down yourself to fit 22s or 24s. The adapters I run were cut by a local mill, same guy turned down the wheels. Man, how I wish he was still around. I coulda made a killin'...
