Yup, and that's exactly how you should approach something like this. Yes, it will remove a slight margin of safety from your car. So, you need to compensate with your other equipment (the nut behind the wheel). But always remember: kids, dogs, rabid monkeys may at any time jump in front of your car and it is my opinion that my equipment should be in the best condition to avoid hitting them. If you hit me and I found out you had your tires inflated not only above your vehicle spec, but also above the sidewall max, i would sue you for every dollar you've ever made, and twice for every dollar you hope to make in the future...

but I don't live in america, so that won't work.
