Fred,
I am building a 57 cabover and the chassis I am using came with 19.5s. Since the bolt pattern from the new chassis matched the original, I bolted one on and it looked tiny. I searched for some bigger tires and there are really no tall 19.5 tires. 8r-19.5 is the tallest and it is about 34". I ended up with 9r22.5 tires (38")so it looked correct. Just something to think about. I would hate to see you get new wheels and tires and find out they did not look right. I have seen lost of bigger old trucks with smaller tires and they just look funny to me.
