I would think that with grade 5 hardware it would be strong enough, considering these are what are probably holding your car together it should hold a few tires. Besides the pieces would be lapped such that the steel itself bears most of the weight, the bolts are just to keep it from falling apart. I might try the bolt together option as I don't have a welder. I would probably trust bolts more than my welds anyway, LOL.
