Vivid site seems to say 1550 which like I said probably okay but not by a lot. Most wheels are in the 2500 lb rating that I have looked at.

I tend to like to use my wheels and tires to pivot and smack things.. thus my concern but everyone is different.
I noticed most of the wheels I was looking at had a 2500 lb. rating. 1550 lbs. does seem low for steel.

Thank you! ?

To everyone for all of your help and suggestions, I greatly appreciate it! The most logical option seems to be wheel spacers or different sway bar links. For right now I am just going to run what I have and see what happens.

I'm hitting the trail for the next few days! Have a great weekend.

May you ride eternal shiny & chrome. :please:

I'm not sure if it's corporate/store policy, or if things have changed since, but my local Discount Tire told me about 10 years ago that they weren't allowed to touch a vehicle with bolt-on spacers/adapters installed.
Thank you for calling this out as things have changed. We will service applications running bolt on adapters/spacers as long the wheel seats proper and there is also enough thread engagement on both sets of fasteners.
