I thought about putting this in Off Topic area because I am specifically talking about my FSB, but this could also apply to a heavy EB also.
I want to install the same 15x10 slots that Duff's full size is using:
http://www.mhtwheels.com/ford-bronco-indy-u101-truck-g-15426.htm
but upon reading the manufacturer's specs on them (which none of the vendors publish) these wheels are only rated at 1600 lbs a wheel.
This seems awfully under rated to be using on a heavy vehicle.
Most FSB's have a GVWR of 6400lbs and the GAWR (rear axle) of 3770lbs.
I'm sure that some of the beefed up EB's are close to that weight, but with a lower rear axle rating to boot.
May be fine for on street only, but off road situations where the forward weight is sent to the rear could possibly overload these wheels
Is this incorrect thinking?
Other variables to consider?
Please share what you know about weight transfer....
