Missed why you went with 19.5, instead of 17.5? 17.5 is a big step up in capacity from 16's.

One guy put the 245/70r19.5 on his 5er but they got pretty big(like 34") in my opinion.
Also It was a wing and a prayer for only being able to find 2 guys who have done it that didn't tell of any other mods to the trailer. I still felt like I took a leap of faith. I do think they are a decent looking rim.
I put a set of the Vision rims on my '04 Dodge (SRW) with the Michelin XRA 245/70r19.5 to increase load rating! Love them!!! Nearly 10,000lb load rating at 120psi. After 10k miles, no problems at all, well except for the tread squirm for the first several thousand miles. May consider them for the TH, although I don't think I'll have the required clearance on the triple axle.

By Quoting I don't mean reposting, I mean for you to look at the code.
