Wheel weight ratings

smurfs_of_war · Jan 22, 2014

Does anyone know the weight ratings of the 20" 5 Lug wheels on the 2013's? I have been digging online but coming up blank.

Does this help? (EDIT- file type was too large and didn't attach)

Not sure what you are going for but I am 100% certain they are well above any axle or GVWR limit.

Actually, I was curious more for the sake of being curious. I just like to know these things

Good info. Doesn't show the carrying capacity though. Back to the search.

I wouldn't say that...the wheels on my 97 dually (dana 80 axle) were only rated for 2350 each or close, which means 9400 total....Dana rates the axle at 11,000 lbs, but Dodge rates it @ 7500 lbs......how does that work ???

The tires I had on it were rated for 3200 lbs each.........

GVWR is the most the total vehicle and payload can weigh, not how much the axle's can hold. So if the gvwr of your truck was 9400 lbs or lower the rims are rated just fine.

I know what GVWR stands for.......GVWR was 10,500

and why would you put rims on an axle if they can't handle all the weight the axle can ??

answer: to make sure you don't have to worry about warranty claims...I mean why else would dodge derate the axle from the 11,000 dana rates it at down to 7500 in the truck ??

To be fair the axle can alone handle more than the entire weight of the vehicle being overloaded since it is rated for 11k. If you saw how much force it actually takes to yield an axle like a 3500 has in it it would scare you.

Interesting I am sure most people reach tire limit before rim or axle limit anyway.
