looking at new rims and rubber for my ranger. the question is. will the rims im looking at lower how much i can tow with my truck. the ranger has a max load rating fo 9000 somthing lbs. 5,500 of it can be the towed load leaving the ranger at 4000 somthing lbs. the rims im looking at are rated for a 1600 lbs load per rim. so 4 of them would be a max load of 6,400 lbs. well over the waight of the ranger, but way under its max compasity for towing. would putting these rims on my ranger reduce towing compasity? or would i be fine cause the ranger waighs less then they are rated for?
