19" front wheel or stick with the 18?

Just finished mounting a Shinko 705 (110/80-19) on the 19" rim ----- twice

I had it mounted, then looking over on the work bench, I realized I had forgotten to put on the rimstrip.

Adding to the fun, I couldn't use my wheel mounting stand because the centering spindle was too large to fit through the wheel bearing.

I don't know if it makes a lot of difference, the 19" rim is 2.15" and the Shinko tire calls for a 2.50" rim.

The tire seems to fit OK.
