IMHO, you would do far more work trying to put in lighter duty axles than buying different offset rims. Plenty of guys have slammed crews with 20"+ 8 lug wheels tucked in the wheel wells. Would a 10 bolt or 12 bolt handle 5000lbs....yes, but I wouldn't want to do it on a regular basis. The heavier running gear is just far more trustworthy for that.
