Mounting 2x4 backer for a heavy-duty wall tire rack — Structural Screws vs. Standard Wood Screws?

Hey everyone,
I'm mounting a 2x4 backer board to my garage wall studs to support a wall-mounted tire rack (holding ~200–300 lbs total).
A couple of quick questions:

  1. Structural Screws vs. Wood Screws: Should I strictly use structural screws (e.g., GRK or Simpson Strong-Tie) instead of standard wood screws to handle the continuous shear weight?

  2. Screw Length: Are 4-inch screws the right size? (1.5" wood + 0.5" drywall + 2" stud embedment)

Should I increase my exposure to ETFs? I invest bi-weekly in VFV, XIC, XEQT, QQC. My Goal is to reach 100k in next 2-4 years.

I have bought tech stocks during the 1st Trump era market dip in early 2025. I missed out on buying during the 2nd era Trump dip in Mar (Iran conflict) as I did not have a lot of funds. My investment in ETFs has been consistent since 2025.

This is my portfolio return since Jan 2025 to date.
