The weight rating is what matters. PSI isn't really a factor, but it will be related to the tire for which it was designed.
For example, my wheels are cast with the following data. This wheel is available in a 5 lug and a 6 lug version. I'm assuming they have different center flange components that they can use with a 15" body. Obviously the 6 lug handles more weight, at 2830#. PSI is not mentioned, but if you go look at DOT ratings for 15" trailer tires, you will find the LRE tire at 80PSI is rated for 2830#. This is not a coincidence. It is DOT compliance. So even though my trailer shipped with LRD tires, and those handle the GVWR of the trailer, these wheels were capable of handling the LRE pressure and load rating.
What I was saying. My old Komfort's 15" wheels were stamped "80 psi max", which meant that they were good for an E-rated tire, even though it was placarded for D's. No conversion necessary. :B
