Tires & wheels for towing
I have a 2016 Ram 2500 with 275/70/18 tires mounted on factory 8" wide wheels....I hate the wheels. I've been looking at several aftermarket wheels that I would like, but they are all 18x9". I have...

No doubt a wheel's load capability is important. What about offset? Can't imagine varying too far from the standard offset without compromising the load rating of the axle and bearing.
The offset for stock OEM Ram 2500/3500 wheels seems to vary from +43 to +57. Has anyone found any aftermarket wheels that have a +43 - +57 offset? Granted, I haven't done an in-depth look, but an offset of +43 - +57 is certainly not common.
I went thru all this, I towed a 13K fifth wheel for nearly 7 years with aftermarket wheels, at the time it was a pain to find a wheel that had the weight rating I needed, and I liked. Ended up with a ProComp wheel.
Also then most aftermarket wheels were lug centric, and not hub centric, like the OEM wheels. Aftermarket there is a lot to consider ,and needs for towing, weight rating being number one. Also offset is another issue.I didn't want a wheel, and tire that stuck out too much.
