I LOVE that. I love that a hell of a lot.
The only thing I would change is to remove the straveller wheel nuts and put 'normal' ones on (I don't really get that about truck wheels?) and maybe some slightly different offset front wheels where the centre doesn't stick out as much - but still being able to ride it that low.
Slammed/bagged Duallys are amongs my fave modded vehicles. If I lived in the States/Canada, I'd have one no question. Over here....it would be fun but would wear very thin very quickly I reckon. Awesome motors.

Single Cab Dually's rock hard: Love the povo spec black bumper and grille. Makes it look even more utilitarian.

That the whole point of running semi truck rims, the fronts are supposed to be like that. Lose the massive high offset, and you lose the look.

The front and rear wheels are identical (or should be if truck wheels) just reversed and mounted the opposite way around. Looks awesome!! Not sure on the legalities of running them like that in the uk tho, truck rims are 22.5" dia, so you can only fit the correct load rated tyres on them, those above have had 1/2" machined out of the rim so normal car tyres will fit. Plenty of meat on the rims so plenty strong enough, it's just the if anything goes wrong.

Remember the days when sex was safe and motorsport was dangerous. Vintage bling always attracts pussy.

You can buy 22/24" replica semi-truck wheels for exactly that purpose. www.duallywheels4u.com/low-profileduallywheels.html

I'm loving the truck wheeled stuff at the minute, be it rat rods or dually's. I reckon a slammed Transit styleside could pull it off.

duallys are fine for uk roads, kind of pointless but perfectly driveable. only about width of a 7.5 tonner or a Car trailer, and so long as you remember what your driving all is fine. Problem comes that most get registered plg here, and they are a little bit on heavy side. i got pulled up on a f350 wrecker. it was 3750kgs with 4 people in it. only had a little lift as well. descretion was used. but what exactly are you supposed to use the load capacity for?
