Question on wheel psi rating
I'm looking to increase the weight capacity of my tires which are currently Rainier ST205/75R14C with a capacity of 1760 lbs. The wheels are rated at 2200 lbs. @ 60psi; Sendel T09-C2 / J1204 wheels. ...

Coming from a commercial haulers background I sure wouldn't recommend anyone exceed a wheels load or pressure rating. The wheel mfg gave your wheels a pressure and load rating for a reason. I've seen and I've been a victim of the folly of exceeding either one.
I would run the wheels at max pressures. Tires heat up at highway speed so they may be close to 65 psi anyway. 5 psi over on a new wheels max pressure isn't a concern for the wheel as it won't be close to the max load.
Usually the wheel may crack around the tire bead seat flange when max loaded and over pressured. Been there and done that in my younger and dumber days.
