How do I know if my rims are compatible?
This information was on my cast aluminum wheels. Note that the wheels are rated for 2830# load, which corresponds to load range E, 80 psi. When they were 5 years old, I replaced the original ST205/75R15C (1820# load) with ST225/75R15D (2540# load).
I bought the Maxxis tires.
You sure about that 2830# load rating? I only see 5 lugs.
Thanks. You're right. I just saw

I didn't decipher the middle line until you corrected me. I don't understand why they would put a 6 lug weight spec on a 5 lug wheel. Maybe just to confuse me. So, I deduce that this wheel is rated for 65 psi and a max load of 2150 pounds.
The camper has two 3500 pound rated axles. Fully loaded, the two axles carry 6000 pounds, as weighed. If equally loaded, each tire carries 1500 pounds.
