Your sticker says it's a 15x5 wheel. Are you measuring the width from the interior bead seat to interior bead seat? If you incorrectly measure the wheel width from outside edge to outside edge on a 15x5 wheel it will show about 6 inches. Is there a measurement stamped on the wheel?
Is Dexstar telling you the 15x5 wheel is limited to 50psi or are you assuming that based upon the wheel's 1820lb limitation? That would be a safe assumption.
I think the 20% safety margin is very wise - both for the wheel and the tire. That is why I upgraded my 2007 TM2619 from 14" to 15" wheels/tires.
