Hey Jo, yes your wheels will handle the additional air pressure. The limiting factor if anything will be the valve stem but most likely you have one that is rated high enough. What tire size are you wanting? I can see if we have what you are looking for as well as a valve stem rated high enough.

Hey Jo, what tire size did you end up going with for your trailer wheels? Once you found the right match, did the valve stems handle the higher pressure as expected? Your update could make it easier for others upgrading from F to G load tires.
