When choosing the correct wheel or rim, it is important to determine the operating conditions to which the wheel or rim will be subjected. Conditions to consider are loads, speeds, road environment, tire pressure, tire sizes and tube-type or tubeless tires.
Consult wheel and rim application engineers at Hayes Lemmerz for wheel/rim load and inflation ratings and application recommendations for conditions such as high-center-of-gravity loads, Canadian highway operation, and on-off highway, restricted speed, or severe service operation.
Ratings
Maximum load rating and maximum inflation rating for highway service are
listed with each wheel and rim part number on the application tables in
this section.
Rim Width
Design rim width is the specific rim width used with a basic tire size.
This rim width will give the best overall tire performance.
Other approved rim widths may offer advantages or provide solutions
to specific problems.
