Wheel Load Rating

[ZynithGladi]

I am looking for any insight regarding wheel load rating. I am looking to grab a set of wheels for the gladiator that are exactly what I was looking for and for a great price, BUT it looks like the wheel load rating is only 1521. I have the ecodiesel and will be running 37" and do tow a small camp trailer periodically during the spring and summer. I know this rating is low, but how much of a concern should I have? I see that most, not all, but most steel wheels are rated for 1521 as well, and there are plenty of people out there running them. Just looking for input as i have searched extensively and have gotten nowhere so far....

Good question. You usually want a wheel load rating that is at least 1/2 of the highest GAWR. I just looked at my 21 Mojave, and the rear GAWR is the highest at 3750 lbs, which means the wheel load rating should be at least 3750/2 = 1875 lbs.
