Recommended Wheel That Can Handle Load Range G Tires

Question:

Hi. I have a 325pak13 toy hauler. I recently upgraded to G rated Sailuns. I have had two rims crack since. I was told that the stock wheels are not strong enough for the high psi tires. What wheels could I replace my stock ones with?

Most stock wheels will most likely not be able to handle a Load Range G tire due to the weight capacity, which can mean the psi, but typically a wheel will be able to handle more than a tire can. Usually the valve stem stem will fail from the higher pressure, but if you have cracked two rims already, you can definitely assume that your wheels aren't rated for the G tires you put on them.

With that said, the standard G rated tire, like the # TTWPRG235R16, will have a max psi rating of 110 pounds and 4,400 pounds of capacity. The Taskmaster Aluminum Viking Series Valhalla Trailer Wheel # AX02665865HDBMMFL will match this weight capacity, but you will need to replace the valve stem with the # AM20906 as it is rated for use with 110 psi tires. And I really like the look of this wheel, but that's personal opinion.
