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...

If you run a Sendel brand wheel ( a popular and common wheel in the towable market ) all of their 14" rims are rated for at least 65 psi. Once you get into their 15" and larger they are all rated for at least 80 psi.

My travel trailer came with this brand, and LR C tires. When I switched to LR D I began inflating to 65 psi.
