Wonder if anyone that has 19.5 tires/wheels have any pro's or con's on these compared to stock 16 inch.

I'm debating this as well. With my 18" wheels I seem to be replacing tires too much. I emailed Rickson and am waiting on a price back.

Are these wheels "HUB CENTRIC"? That would be important to me, since that is what the stock ones are, The HUBS center the wheel on the rotor, not the LUGS.

Don't know about the centric or not, couldn't find it on the site. the reason I asked the question is they state that pair with 245 tires they are the same height as stock so the only thing that must make a difference is the shorter side walls make it a stiffer tire with less side play? They want $3000.00 for 4 alloy and 2 steel wheels with tires , so thats why I was wondering if a person would gain that much.

I have Ricksons on a 2000 F250, and 19.5" tires. It rides just as good, if not better with the 19.5" tires, definitely not a softer or plush ride, but very comfortable and handles well. 19.5" wheels and tires are bought primarily to achieve a greater safety margin with heavier loads. My application of SRW pickup with a slide-in camper is a prime example.
