Eric, you still need to read my previous answer to this question and fill in ALL of the parts that I asked for, NONE of us can help you without ALL the info that I asked for! Please?- otherwise we cant be specific and you will get NOTHING….
Edit: I will safely assume that you have purchased a dept store bike. If you have then NO wheel for a bike of this type will ever support your weight, sorry. I would tell you to return the bike if you can because dept store wheels and frames are not best suited to your weight at all! I would strongly suggest that you either save more $ and purchase an entry level bike from a reputable bike shop in your area and let them help you determine the best bike to suit your needs. Anything in the sub $200 range NEW will not be much good for you because of lack of quality in primary components- this is why you are having problems now and the wheels are only the begining. Not sure where you are so cant really say where the best place and type of bike would be best for you until you give us the info we need. No wheel set for your price range will work for your weight. Sorry!

These wheels wil fit your needs . I assume you wont be jumping the bike since you looking to put a Hybrid tires on them. For tires id look at something like these

If you are just ridding the bike and not doing any jumps or tricks on it don’t worry about your weight.
