Ace,
Actually the over all diameter does not change significantly. So with a HD leveling kit they will not rub. I have P235/85's which are nearly 32" diameter, The 245 19.5 tire is 33. Nothing I am worried about

on the 22.5 and 24.5 a lift is reccommended, on the 19.5's you can get away with no lift, a couple of lowered trucks are running the 19.5 with the 225/70/19.5 = 31.90 overal diam check the web site www.brentzwheels.com you will see some stock trucks with the 19.5s and I will dig up a lowered truck with the 19.5s and post it as well.
