Good point jimlin, but to ease the OPs mind, I’ve been hauling a lot more camper than the Cirrus on a shortbed with those same OE 20s for a few years now.

I’ve personally done waaay worse things to wheels thanbeing a couple hundred lbs over rating. Not reccomending it to others, ratherststing there little real world concern here, within reason.
I have had much this same discussion in my own mind, glad to see you put it in words on "paper"!
