I believe that the rating are for 5-bolt and 6-bolt patterns, respectively. If they are, then these are, at most, a D-rated rim, and would probably have a 65 psi max rating. Yes, they do put psi ratings under the tire, usually in the bead groove...which is =really= stupid.

So that would mean they use the same wheel casting for 5 lug and 6 lug wheels. I had not thought of that. These are 6 lug wheels so the higher rating would apply.
BTW, 2830lbs matches the rating of that LRE Maxxis tire. So not sure why you think it is only good for LRD.
