The 56 you saw, could those have been 22.5" tubeless wheels from the factory, and not new 19.5" wheels? I have a set of 22.5" wheels on my truck that came from a 56 1.5 ton with the same small 10 lugs we are talking about.
Yes, I personally think that the 19.5 rims and 8R19.5 tires look odd on a 1.5 or 2 ton AD truck.
Here is a picture of 8X19.5 tires on a 1 ton truck, I think they look good, and the fenders on the bigger trucks are bigger, not helping the looks with the same 8R19.5 tires:

Now you did ask for my thoughts, and not trying to offend anyone, but there they are.
Whatever you do with your truck, so long as
you like it, is a great idea. It's your cat, you get to skin it...
