Expert Reply:
In almost all cases the limiting factor for tire pressure on a wheel setup is the valve stem. If you upgrade the valve stem in your wheels to ones that can handle 110 psi like what the part # AM10501 calls for you'd be fine.
Usually valve stems that are rated for 110 psi will be metal such as # AM20906.
