18" wheel options?

Is there any options for a 18" wheel that has a 4k+ capacity? I'm not finding any and haven't found specs on factory Ram aluminum wheels but assuming they are rated lower.
  • Thanks for the replies. Mike, 3500 is just not enough...darn!

    The H2 wheels are popular but unfortunately they are 17's......
  • My 18 inch OEM Ram wheels were rated for 3,500 lbs. My new HD Series Cranks are rated for 3,600 lbs. I like the look of them, and the with the larger weight rating, I'm pretty happy with them.

  • Not directly answering your question, but I run Nitto Dura Grapplers rated at 3970#. I have them mounted on OEM GM 17" STEEL wheels.

    My thinking is any failure would be bending instead of an alloy wheel cracking.

    I keep the OEM tires mounted on OEM alloy wheels for winter (non-rv) use.

    But IIRC weren't Ram owners finding Hummer alloy wheels (rated at 4000#?) that would fit their trucks?

    I don't know of any wheels that are rated that high, but the Ford wheels rate to 3750, so I assume the Dodge have something similar. Worse case, you are slightly over their rating.


    Good to know. I'd be happy with wheels at 3750. Anyone confirm Ram is same?

    that load rating puts you into the 19.5 wheel category


    Understood, but have been attempting to avoid it as I have found a E range tire that gives me 4080 lbs of capacity....but haven't found a wheel to match.
