Wheels and weight
Im looking to get new wheels for my 2011 F 250 SD 6.7 Diesel. Crew cab. There are 20 inch rims on it now and I would like to stay with 20inch rims. After looking at some wheels/rims I noticed they have a max weight rating. I was unable to find any good answers about what weight rating I should be looking for in a wheel/rim. I will be towing about 10K-16K pounds. The tire size I have now is 295/65 20. Any help or place I can educate myself on the topic would be appreciated.

Your rear gvwr is 6340lbs. You want wheels, and tires that will at least match that. I bought 18" wheels with a 3500 lbs rating, giving me 7000lbs total on the rear. You should have no trouble finding wheels in a 20" that will work. Larger wheels usually have a higher rating, it's the physics of a circle.
