The main concern for rims at your weight is sufficient width for such fat tires. FWIW, the stock rims on my Monocog 29er, which came with 2.35 WTB knobbies (later replaced with Big Apples) are just shy of 25 mm wide on the outside. They worked fine. (I now have 45 mm wide rims, but I went to this trouble for the sake of running very low pressures, for sand, with less sidewall flex on pavement.)
I am 40 lb heavier than you, and the 25 mm rims held the 60s without pavement steering flop as long as I ran at least 20 - 22 lb in front. With the 45s the front sweet spot is 16-17 lb. (I go as low as 12 on sand.)
