Tire size vs load index: can you increase your tires load carrying capacity?

Actual load carrying capacity increases, but the structure of the rubber cannot withstand more cornering loads. In most cases the wheel accidents happens when driving to potholes so there you will get more protection for your wheels by selecting wider wheels.
The measurements were from 52mm flex, if you calculate them close the wheel wider wheel will give even more load carrying difference.

That is 8,4% difference in weigth vs 5,5% more load carrying capacity (690kg vs 730kg)
