Disc brake dilemma.

I thought the same thing and did some reserch before I bought the rims. They are available though. The offset is 5 inches so there are more size choices.

I did some looking quick after you posted that for new tires too. I see lots of highway tread tires with high weight rating for big trucks but not many with aggressive tread. My buddy just got a motorhome with 19.5 rims for parts. Im sure I could get the rims from him if I wanted them. Just wasnt sure about the tires.

The 19.5's I'm getting were from a P30 Frito Lay step van. As you said, they were also used on motor homes, I would imagine with a GM chassis. They are pretty rare with the 8 on 6.5 lug pattern. If you want to go to a 20 inch dually rim, it would require a 10 bolt adapter and of course 10 bolt rims. Expensive.

Just the other day I came across some aggressive 19.5's, but I cannot remember who the maker was. They were fairly tall too.

Why 19.5s? Seems like it would be a hard tire size to find at least used.

Simple tire has 132 choices in a 19.5 tire ranging from $175.00 each to you don't wanna know.

Update. Just got the adapters for the conversion. Mocked up the wheels today.

Steel adapters? Those look like really good quality. And expensive, lol.
