Finally got the 19.5" rims off the garage floor and got them mounted with some new rubber. After all the butt chewin' for not posting pics when I bought the rims I figured I better include some pics with this post.

 

Kewl!!!!!!!

 

Looks sharp. Whats the treadlife like with those tires? Thought about the 19.5's a time or two myself.

 

Is there any benefit to having those rims?

 

You can run a commercial tire that has a much higher load rating.

 

Tire shop estimated with the weight of the 3/4 ton I could see 80-90,000 miles with regular rotations. Depends on how much gravel road I drive. I'd be pleased to see 60-70,000 miles. They are a load rating H, and so far I can't tell much of a different ride. Maybe a little stiffer. (in a good way) The benefit to the rims is I didn't have to put any lift on the truck and they don't rub at full turn.
