Wheel PSI Rating for Dexstar Steel Spoke Trailer Wheel - 14" x 5-1/2" Rim

Question:

What is the psi rating for this wheel? Dexstar 17-142 14 x 5.5 jj 2040 lb. I am replacing the trailer tires. OEM was load range c at 50 psi. New tires are load range d at 65 psi. Will the wheels be safe with the new tires at 65 psi?

There should not be any issues with the Dexstar Steel Spoke Trailer Wheel # AM20352 you mentioned in your question safely handling your new Load Range D at 65 psi tires. I checked with Dexstar and these wheels have a 2,040 pound weight capacity at 65psi, so these will work great.
