It sounds like you have found a great set of wheels that will work for for application. After buying my 19.5 wheels, I found I'm not near as knowledgeable as I need to be. This simple? wheel change has resulted in needing: clamp plates, replace 1/2' studs with longer 9/16" studs, add a spacer plate to the rear because the inside wheel presses against the edge of the brake drum, and adjust front turn stops to correct interference with drag link. Also, it looks as though I will have to trim a bit from the lower edge of the flat bed flange directly above the outside tire because the 225/70-19.5 tires are, of course, wider than the original 7.00-18s.
On the plus side, it should look and drive great when I'm finally done.
