Load Rating Of Fuchs 5.5" x 14"?

Does anyone have a source for the load rating of a 5.5" x 14" 5-bolt Fuchs?

I am thinking about new tires for my Vanagon Westy, and could physically fit those Fuchs using adapters. The Vanagon bolt pattern is 5x112 and the Fuchs are 5 x 130 (I think). Plus that size of Fuchs is fairly affordable. What I am unsure about is whether the wheels are strong enough to safely use with a Vanagon Westfalia.

The Westy has a GVWR of appx 5,200 lbs, roughly 50/50 distribution F/R. With a 14" wheel, it requires a loading rating "D" tire.

If the wheels haven't been abused or damaged they'll be plenty strong enough, the load rating of the tire is more of a concern, check on 195/70 14", many rated around 1,200-1,300 lbs each.
