Ask any experienced tire tech what's more important, speed rating or load rating, and he'll tell you load rating. I know several people in the wheel and tire industry and one of their common concerns with the trend of huge custom wheels is the ignorance of the load rating when making a decision of what tires to buy. Point is, if industry people who make their living by selling custom wheels and tires are worried about load ratings, so should you.
Get the correct tires and all will be well. If you want to compromise, do it with the speed rating but not the load rating.
