Well, I finally decided to give the H2 wheel conversion a try on my coach. My 16.5 rims were getting more and more rusty and with 17" H2 wheels being a direct swap.... well, see for yourself.

The 17" H2 wheels were a direct bolt-up with no spacers needed. No rub problem in front except on a hard-over backing, then just minor rub at best, Nothing worse then I had with the Transforce HT's. I used the Goodyear Wrangler Silent Armor 1-ton off road truck tires with 3100-lb weight rating each, LT265/70R17 121R. The speedometer is so close it's not even worth re-calibrating, less then 1 MPH off at 75 MPH. On a competitive price match, 7 tires were around $1,650 mounted, balanced, and out the door. I was able to pick up 8 wheels with center caps locally over time for between $35 to $50 each. Just have to watch Craigslist, someone's always selling H2 stockers. Out of the 8 wheels I purchased, 6 were good & straight, one had a very minor bend, one was a little worse. The 7th wheel is in the spare position until I can swap rims, I recycled the 8th.
Anyone need some stock Revcon 16.5 inch rims?
