FAQ - Load Rated Wheels

Wheel Load Rating: What is it & Why does it Matter? The AutoCraze Guarantee

All Wheels purchased at AutoCraze are Load Rated*. Make sure that wherever you buy your wheels and tyres, the store or manufacturer has a load rating guarantee. The AutoCraze Load Rating Guarantee

• AutoCraze guarantees all our retail and online purchases meet the requirement to check the speed and load rating of all tyres fitted to vehicles presented for roadworthy inspections. At AutoCraze all tyre ratings comply with the lesser of either the ratings specified by the vehicle manufacturer, as displayed on the tyre placard; or the ratings specified in the National Code of Practice for Light Vehicle Construction and Modification.

We have in-house experts to check every vehicle specification and wheel specification to ensure the wheels your purchase meet or exceeds your vehicles load rating. After fitment check, we guarantee every wheel is load rated unless otherwise specified a consultant.

We will not sell you wheels that are not load rated for your vehicle without your consent or approval. In some circumstances, a consultant may contact you to confirm a vehicles year or model to ensure a high level of accuracy.

Using only top quality brands with a reliable track record and that meet our high standards, you can be sure of accurate wheel ratings.

Why does Load Rating Mean & Why does it Matter?

Not all wheels are made the same. And in Australia, we have strict standards to stand by. In conjunction with your tyres, load rating determines the capacity for a wheel to handle the load/weight of a vehicle.

Road wheels and tyres are vital to a vehicle's safety. Since 1971, Australian Design Rules (ADRs) have been progressively introduced to specify wheel and tyre strength, air pressures, speed and load ratings and allowable combinations of wheel rims and tyres.

Not having the correct load rated wheels for your vehicle can lead to wheel failure causing them to crack under the pressure of the weight. In combination with high speeds, this can fatal accidents. It can also void insurance claims.

How do I check a car's Load rating and a wheels load rating?

Since 1973 ADRs required cars to be fitted with a tyre placard which specifies the wheel and tyre combinations recommended by the vehicle manufacturer.  Check your vehicle's placard which is commonly placed in the driver's door, glove box of fuel filler cap. There it will specify the vehicles load rating.

To check a wheel's load rating, look at the back of the wheel and the weight will be stamped there.

How do I calculate load rating?

By checking your vehicle placard, you can see the specifications by the manufacturer on the weight of the vehicle. Use this number in conjunction with the number at the back of your wheel.

For example;
Your vehicle is rated at 3,000KG.
Your wheels/rims are rated at 800KG per wheel. You must multiply this number by 4 (because there are 4 wheels on a vehicle). 800x4 = 3200KG.
As this number exceeds the 3000KG by 200KG, these wheels meet and exceed the load rating.

Please be aware that the typical load in your vehicle does impact on the weight the wheels must carry. For example if you carry 500KG of bricks everyday for your work, you will have to take this into account in your calculations.
