Default Putting 19.5" wheels on an '05 non-dually 3500.

Actually I am asking this question for my Dad who isn't very computer savy. He has never touched a computer and probably never will. But anyways, he plans on putting some commercial 19.5" wheels, the kind you see on bobtails and light commercial trucks, on his '05 non-dually 3500 Dodge 4x4. I guess he wants each tire to be rated at around 4000k or more from what I understand.

Can anyone point out a place where he could purchase these type of wheels via the internet or mail? The local tire/wheel shops have not been much help apparently. Would he need some type of adaptor to accomodate these wheels?(that's me asking) Also, what are the pros and cons of going to a 19.5" wheel? I imagine that they might alter your gas mileage being a heavier wheel and all, plus they'd probably throw the speedometer off right?

Any help would be appreciated. I am happy that there's a forum like this where Dodge owners can discuss things and help each other out. Thanks.

Thanks to PMs from NeverSatisfied and DCXgageman, I was able to find wheels(for a single wheel Dodge w/o the need of an adaptor)with 4500-5000 lb rating that you can put G rated(5000-5500 lb) tires on. I am glad I came to this forum for help, thanks guys!
