225/70R19.5's on my 5th wheel?

Our Goodyear G614's on our 2012 Heartland LandMark Key Largo. Dated 2011 are in good shape. No checking on sidewall. And lots of thread left on the tires.
I still have the 19.5's off my 2004 Chevy 3/4 Ton pickup. And have a 75% set of Toyo tires on them. Tried one on the camper yesterday. While getting the camper ready to go on a trip next week. There's around 1/4" difference between these. The 19.5's being taller, will have to get new Lug bolts and center caps to run them. But thinking tires will last a lot longer. Being there rated for 5000 lbs each. Anyone else running these? I know lots run 17.5's but not going to buy new tires and wheels when I have these.
Heres a pic with one tire on the camper. The back one 19.5 is still jacked up.
  • Trailer wheels have Zero degree offset. What about those truck wheels?

    I agree! just ordered 2 more Sailun's for my trip to Alaska in May
  • Are the wheels off the truck lug-centric? Most of the trailer wheels are.
  • sailun s637. Retain your sidewall. Get tons of tread. Less expensive.
