Excuse my ignorance here for a bit...

Why are you going to 19.5 wheels?

I know quite a few on the RV forums use them on the SRW trucks for the tire load rating for towing the monster 5th wheel trailers or slide in campers.

And the tires last 100,000 miles or so. Some of the 19.5 rims look pretty good also.

Cause it's kinda neat, makes the truck a little like a big rig.

I figured this was some of it. The answer I was hoping for is below...

Glad to hear a performance benefit to this. I never delved into doing this to a pick-up. My dad drove our truck/slide-in camper combo for 25 years on 16" wheels and I never felt it was an unstable set-up.

So my next ?.... Why not go to 22.5's? Don't people do this also?

Mostly it was from the fear of having a blowout with a "weak" load range E tire. But a blowout could happen with any tire.

There have been some that have put the 22.5 super singles on trucks. (445/50/22.5 tire)

I was thinking gloss black, with chrome center caps and lugnuts, but the white might look good, but it may standout to much.
