Back in the day they were made with cast aluminum, but now they are billet and very tough. As for putting more load, I am not too sure, if you buy a different offset, does that change the load characteristics? I'd say use them, but DO NOT SCIMP!! buy the best quality you can find and then I wouldn't go over 2" thick, maybe under that just to be safe. By the time you buy good Billet spacers ($50 a piece) and the price of the wheels, you could probably buy new wheels to fit, just a thought.
