If you are still thinking MRAP wheels I would also suggest going with the alloy version of the MRAP wheels and saving about 60# per wheel. Then use your machined adapters and dually spacers to get them out far enough. If you are machining your own adapters you could just make a single piece adapter (billet) that both sets the offset required and the stud pattern.

Also from experience not science/physics theory. With the Cummins in your Dodge the bigger wheels will not be a problem accelerating but the issue will be with braking. If you are marginal with braking while using the camper it will suck big time going to bigger wheels.
This is based on going from 29" dually steel wheels on an E450 4WD ambulance to 35" alloy commercial tires. And also going from 29" steel dually wheels on a Freightliner ambulance to 43" MRAP wheels.
The ford was at the braking limits with the bigger heavier wheels. The Freightliner had an effect on the braking but it has so much in reserve it is not an issue.
