Towing with big rims and 24" tires

I guess it would depend on the load range of the tire. Keep in mind the wheels are probably pretty heavy, so you'll have to take that into account while braking.
I highly doubt that towing 3000#s is going to be an issue though. Just don't forget that you have a lot more to stop with big rims.
Make sure to get a tire rated for something heavy, (D, E, etc..) An SUV tire should work just fine.
Not sure the load range, but something like this would do the trick - Tires

You should be fine, but there is alot of rotational mass there. I'd suggest upgrading brakes with some slotted rotors for some extra bite.

it is not only about the load range of the tire. rims have max load ratings as well. you will have to find out the max load for what ever rim you are buying. some rims have a pretty low load. I have seen some rated as low as 2200 per rim for our trucks. and I have seen some rims that are probably rated lower.

Just to clarify, the load rating is very important, i'm not saying it isnt...but shouldn't have too much of an effect on the towing in this situation.
Whenever you're ready to buy brakes let me know if you have any questions....I just got mine shipped to me today and cant wait to go install them... I get to tow my 16 foot dual axle flatbed with buggy/firewood/camping gear on it with my ranger. I'm really excited to see a difference in stopping power.
