With 22" aftermarket wheels, you may want to check both the wheel and tire capacities as well. They're usually lower as your aspect ratio goes down. It's likely you derated your tow vehicle with that mod.
Shoot - yeah I didn't think of purchasing a toy hauler when I bought the Tahoe (I bought it with the wheels on there already). The maximum load rating on the tire is 2,337lbs per tire. Can you or someone who knows more about that than I do explain if that is enough? I'm thinking yes because the tires would be rated for even higher than the axle rating (axle rating in the rear is 4100lbs, front is even less).
That's one rating - what is the rating for the wheels? What make/model are they?
Hmm yeah I looked and couldn't find any branding on them... any thoughts on how I could find that out?
I found the brand and called the manufacturer, they are built as OEM Replacements, and are actually rated to be slightly higher than the OEM spec. In this case they are rated at 2,200lbs per wheel and therefore are rated at 4,400 for the rear axle and the rear axle is only rated to 4,100lbs. I think it's fair to say the wheels are good to go based on the load rating.
