Thanks for your input. That actually makes sense since a manufacturer shouldn't want a wheel underated per the tire making it's way onto a heavier vehicle. I posted this on a reddit engineering group too and one guy went into some math regarding fatigue limits and strengths and used (what I'm...
I've been looking to upgrade wheels on my 2012 Toyota Sienna LE FWD 3.5L for a minute now and am wondering if wheels off a lighter car are safe to use. We're talking GVWR=5,995lbs vs maybe 4,700lbs. So basically the heaviest vs lightest vehicles with 5x114.3mm bolt patterns. I've reached out to...

Ok, this all makes sense. I figured there had to be limited disclosure standards after not being able to find any good sources on this. I'm trying to stick to oem manufacturers for the quality assurance, but good to know aftermarket ratings may not be dependable. Thanks for the reply.
I'm new to the site and am hoping some of you good folks can help me understand what I need to consider when looking at wheel options for my vehicle. I've searched this forum and gathered that wheels are typically designed to have a load rating that meets or exceeds half the heavier axle weight...
