Default new rims in the future

after doing some research i have my mind set on a set of 5 moto metal 951 rims, just have a few questions fist before i start shellin out some money as this will be my first rim swap ever

1. just to make sure the bolt pattern is 5 x 5.5 correct?
2. the max load per rim is 2200 lbs. seems a little low to me but what do i know
3. i assume that ill just be able to swap tires from rim to rim and be good to roll no?

link to rims for reference

You should be good. That max weight puts your truck at almost 9k pending each rim was loaded to the max. Your tires prolly are rated less than that.

Go for it.

You should be ok. Especially if you're on 20's. I believe stock chrome 17s are 17x8, the alloy 20s are 20x8 and the clads 20x9
