Wheel weight load

[moondog2000]

I've decided to carry 2 spares on my trailer so I have been trying to find a wheel that matches my other wheels. What I am looking for is a Dexstar
17-230 14 x 5.5 JJ 2040 lb. Every one I find only has a weight load of 1870 lb. The only wheels I find in the 2000 range are 15" . My tires are rated at 1760 load range c . I wonder if they stopped making this wheel ?
Do you think it would hurt to run a 1870 wheel. Any body have a sight where I can purchase the original wheel. Thank you Mike

The rim rating still exceeds the tire load rating...shouldn't be any problem.

Thats what I was thinking but I wanted to hear it from a pro with experiance. Thanks Mike

I still kind of wonder if my original wheels were really 2040 lb rated. Seems like someone would have some for sale, after all my trailer is a 2013. Or they where rated wrong in the begining and dexstar made corrections.

I think I might have solved this. I found my rims on a dexstar site with a weight rateing of 2040 at 65 psi. Other sites have my wheels at 1870 at 50 psi. The air pressure has to be the difference. My tires are c rated and list 50 psi max. Maybe a higher rated tire would allow more air Pressure. Got to be the answer.
