Matching Tire and Wheel Capacities (follow up)

The short of my question... Can I have a tire/wheel combination where the load capacity of the tire exceeds the load capacity of the wheel? Now the long version... I currently have the usual 14x5...

My understanding is an ST205/75 R14 LR D tire would require a cold inflation of 65 p.s.i., not 55 p.s.i. Indeed, the new Goodyear Endurance in this size is a LR D tire rated for 2040 lbs @ 65 p.s.i.
