Default 2500 Dual Rims?

I have a 2001 Ram 2500 4x4 with tow package. Can I pu dual rims on that axle? 3500 rims hit the brake caliper. 16 inch tires. I need to be able to pull a 5th wheel 28 ft tiny house with 3 axles, about 6 ton.Are there rims that would work for me and would I need to change the hubs/studs?

You would need to change to a dual rear axle which is built to hand the rim offset. or figure our some custom offset wheels that could be used. I was able to fit dual wheels on a 2500 axle by sizing up to 3rd gen 17s and running a 1/2" spacer and using longer studs Which I would never recommend doing it was only for test fitting.

What is your tongue weight, 12000 lbs if balanced to under 3000 tongue weight dual rear wheels would not be necessary, especially if its a one time move?
