The rating is based on dynamic loading...so they already have you hitting normal bumps.
Now if you hit a curb or rock...or you have a blow out and the rim hits the pavement hard all bets are off but a higher rated rim is unlikely to help.
Just running down the road nothing unusual, I've never heard of a rim failing (not that you should overload them).
