19.5" Truck Rim Specs - Offsets etc.
I've read every thread (I think) regarding going to 19.5" truck rims for our 2001 Ford F-250. I don't want to spend a ton of money for shiny aluminum rims as I would only mount them when carrying our...

Why would you need 19.5" rims on a 3/4 ton truck? Avoid pizza cutter tires at all cost
The camper in your sig is a great reson to get 19.5's. What do you run for tires? Ever hit the scales?
Looking at your sig, I cannot find a 1071 in the 2003 Lance Brochure, but it does appear in the 2004. It has a dry weight of 3220, meaning it's more than likely 4500lbs once loaded. That seems like a good reason to get 19.5's on a SRW truck, the OEM 17" wheels aren't rated for that and neither are the tires. You can go to 18's but the wheels rarely allow for more than 7200lbs of combined weight, regardless of tires. For the cost it's hard to beat 19.5's when upgrading for a RAW in excess of 7K lbs.
Why avoid pizza cutters? IME they are a much better truck tire than a wide tire.
I had 19.5 wheels and tires on a Class A I owned, I sent a lot of money to get some 16.5 wheels so I could run a decent tire, I hated the 19.5 pizza cutters, felt like ice skates
