Concerned about load bearing

I was looking at a set of wheels that are 18". I notice that a lot of the tires available in 215/35 and 215/40 have a rating of 84. The OEMs are 87. Should I be really concerned? What are people riding on who have 18s?

215/35 and 205/40 are 2 ideal 18' inch sizes to use.
