Koz, just a little clarification on the very last part, mainly in the terminology. I believe you meant to state that you needed a wheel rated to carry the max air pressure of a Load Range E tire (which carries 80 psi).
Technically a LT (light truck) tire, is a tire designed to be run on heavier pickup trucks/SUV's. Many LT tires run a lot less than 80 psi.
A ST (special trailer) tire, uses the same Load Range/Ply ratings as LT tires, and thus the same psi capabilities. A lot of ST tires also will carry less than 80 psi.
