I have been running Rickson wheels for over 50K. I originally thought to do as you and only use them for towing the 5er or haulling the in bed camper but after a year or so I just stuck with the Ricksons and I sold my original equipment wheels and never looked back. I went with the 225 tires because they are the same diameter as the factory tires but with a narrower footprint which gives you less rolling resistance and a little milage increase. I did not change shocks but I already had Billstiens. I tlhink you will love tlhem.

Sorry I do not and even if I took some with my wife's digital camera I am not computer literate enough to get them into the computer and post them with this message. They are Rickson classics. If you were drunning 285 x 17 tlhe 245 x 19.5 should be about the same diamater and still have a narrower footprint and less rolling resistance. They come in load range F and G. I run the Fs and have had great luck with them. The classics are aluminum and have 8 round holes. Sorry this old fogy is not more computer litterate and could post some pic's.

I have 2 steel, one under the bed and one on a 2 inch receiver front hitch that I carry with the in bed camper. The aluminum are heavy but the steel are really heavy so maybe your idea of only using them when you haul heavy is a good idea.
