Hey Guys,

I'm trying to compile a wheel weight list with rubber on there to help us out save as much weight as possible on the drive terrain. If you could list the rim size and brand, the rubber size and brand, and total weight that would be great.

I'll Kick it off with what I have on hand:

14x6 ASA Rims (4x110)
185/60 R14 Goodyear Nordic
33lb

15x7 Stock 91-93 Explorer Rims (5x114.3)
195/50 R15 Toyo Proxies FZ4
35lb

Don't forget to weight stock wheels with different types of rubbers on there too

Its driveTRAIN Sam, not drive terrain. Terrain is what you drive ON.

Instead of mixing apples (wheel weights) and oranges (tire weights), I suggest you refer to some of the on-line databases. This way you can pick light wheels and light tires for the lightest possible combo, or whatever other setup you choose.

I've seen that wheel weights list before but it really doesn't list everything ... and alot of stuff we don't even use. This would be for first gen wheel fitment only. Also this would make it a quick easy reference. I'd like to have chart done up and documented in the archive hopefully.

15" rims from a 2002-2004 OZ lancer weigh 15 pounds without the rubber. and they are also in 4x110 bolt pattern.

I have Sumitomo HTR 200 tires all around, with 185/60/13's in front, and 205/60/13'2 in the back.

Stock + wheels with 185/60/13 tires = 26Lbs
Rubber weight = 15.2Lbs
Stock + wheels with 205/55/13 tires = 29Lbs
Rubber weight = 18.7Lbs

These weights were taken with a digital bathroom scale that may be slightly out. Tire weights were taken from the Sumitomo website.

"Black91n/a" just boughtsome 15x9 Kodiak RT rims with the 5x114.3 pattern and they weighed in at 13.2 lb. He said that his are a little bit more beefed up because he had them make more caliper clearance incase he wanted to do bigger brakes than the 4 pots later on.

So my ideal goal of about 12.5lb / rim for my 15x8 isn't that far strech.

Just tossing it out there also that the RT model is the stiffest rim they offer and that in it self would mean abit more weight. I think the FX were the lightest ones but the least strong too.

They are 4x4.5" (114.3mm) not 110mm.

Don't get everybody excited like that

Okay, according to the websites Elwood listed:

Revolution 13x7 = 10.2 (mine are 13x8)
Sumitomo HTR 200 215/50/13 = 19

So probably a grand total of 29 - 30 Lbs. per wheel...

You should weight them just incase. I found that site to be not taccurate or maybe on old styles numbers. Not sure when it was last updated.

Just keeping this alive, now that I have my kodiaks on hand, 15x8 weight in at 12.5 using a bathroom scale. Pretty good.
