Well, my Vision wheels and MIchelin XDS2 tires finally arrived and have been balanced and installed, and they are awesome! 245/70R19.5 at 70psi rides way better than my OEM Michelin LTX AS2 265/70R17 at 80 psi. These are very sure footed, without any sag, sway, or bad bounce. I LIKE them!
Load range on singles (both rear tires):
Tires are rated to 120psi:
Looking good, thumbs up. Where did you end up getting them at? I know it wasn't Rickson Wheel. With zero offset do they stick very far out the side of your truck? I have read where they may stick out past the fenders and require fender flares. Does it look like you well need to do this so they don't throw up everything onto your truck?
Good decision going with 19.5, now go and enjoy your camper and don't sweat it. Looks like trip time to me.
Oh by the way red trucks are the best looking trucks on the road IMO. My present truck is a royal red metalic,darker red than yours BUT still red.

I ordered them through a local dealer who got them from Les Schwab near Tacoma and had them shipped up, all for less money than those guys on eBay sell them for, and less hassle too.
They stick out about 1", and eventually I will install fender flares, of some sort...not sure which brand is best.
Yeah, this red is sweet, but I'll bet it's gonna be high maintenace, red usually is.

Get some Mother's aluminum wheel polish and a polishing ball to keep them shiny.
I really like the set up, it makes me feel a lot safer and it rides a lot better for sure. Thanks for the tip.They will require polishing often I sure.
Have you tried to get a air chuck or truck style gauge on the outside wheel valve stems yet to add air or measure pressure? The placement and angle of the stem on my same wheels is impossible to get at, unless you use a short gauge and hold it between the tires then don't bump the gauge getting it out to read. Adding air is similarly a problem. I am going to try a set of pressure monitors from Crossfire (similar to Cats Eye)and see if I can figure out how to mount the center unit. I bought my 19.5 set last year for a F350 4X4 Crew Dually to carry a Host Everest TC. Mine do not stick out past the wells. I run 100lbs and the truck will track with road grooves, more so when unloaded. (Firestone airbags and Rancho 9000s)
Now that is a great looking setup that will allow you to travel the remote roads of Alaska with confidence! Thanks for the pics. I will been looking for these wheels when my current set of Toyos wear out.
