5.If he doesn't know what he is ordering find another dealer. Even the little hole in the wall tire dealer we use can order what I want.
I've tried and I'll just keep calling around. This is a hole in the wall place. The big guys (Firestone, Goodyear, Just Tires, Napa RV and Truck Center, etc.) won't even discuss ordering wheels. Was hoping to buy local around D.C., but may have to make a long trip to Baltimore (well, only 90 minutes if the traffic is not too bad on I-95). I'll keep checking around. My backup plan is to order wheels from etrailer or trailertires and wheels.com and order the tires locally. I don't trust discounttire.com since I've had three different answers/quotes (really only two since one guy never returned my call with a quote).

So, if I can't get this tire guy convinced that I need larger load wheels, I'll give up and order them from the internet.

Thanks all for the input!
