Can the PSI Rating of the Dexstar Rim # AM20440 be Exceeded Safely
Question:
I just purchased these from you. It states weight max at 50psi I ordered 8 ply tires with max psi of 65 will this still work.

Helpful Expert Reply:
The Dexstar Rim # AM20440 has a surprisingly low psi rating when compared to most trailer rims. Even though you would most likely be fine to inflate your tires to the 65 psi rating they call for I cannot safely recommend this.
But I will say that if you do decide to exceed the psi rating for the wheel make sure you have valve stems that are capable of the higher capacity like the # AM20906 as typically the psi capacity for a wheel is limited by the valve stem.
