Thanks all for the input. I had done several searches and had found Summit but they don't specify weight ratings. I checked out Coker and Les Schwab also no weight ratings. The vendors with weight ratings that I had found were carrying hot rod wheels that averaged about 2500# with steel. They did have some aluminum wheels at 3300# which were border line for me as my rear axle is a little more than 6600#, but I want steel.
The most promising so far is HubcapHaven with the 16x7 6.5 bolt pattern for a 3500HD. They also don't specify weight, but I would think they could handle at least as much or more that the 16x6.5 6.5 bolt pattern on the 2500HD.
The question is, will the 1/2 inch increase let the tire roll flat on the road to even out wear?? Recommended width for the tire was 7.5 to 8.5.
