what pro comp steel wheel are you looking at that is rated for 3100lbs? I did a crapload of research on rims when I bought mine and never saw a steel wheel rated over 2200...

well i'll be... just researched it, you must be looking at the series 52? Supposedly rated for 3400lbs... don't see how they could do that but... you might want to check with them that that isn't a typo because I the only steel rims I have seen rated like that are military rims and they were heavy as heck. The 2.5" backspacing will more than likely be an issue though, you will rub your tires on the firewall and bumper when turning most likely
