Wheels with high load ratings

I want to put new BFG 285 75 16s load range E on my truck. BFG recommends putting this on at 8 inch wheel. Do you know of any wheels that are 16 x 8 with at least a 3400 load rating? I have a slide in camper thus the reason for heavier duty wheels.

Thanks
Mike

Weld's Renegade and Cheyenne 6 are available in 16x8 and claim to exceed OEM capacity.

I have some center line forged wheels that are rated at 3200 pounds. I looked on their site and they have a few in 16 x 8 in forged that are rated at 3200 pounds. I bought mine direct from them and they shipped them right to my house. I bought the cooler style , and I`m very happy with them!!

Just put them on the stock wheel and be done with it. Thousands have done so.
