Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies
(ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO
technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been
established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and
non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the
International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
--`,,```,,,,````-`-`,,`,,`,`,,`---

International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.

The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards
adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an
International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.

Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent
rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.

ISO 4000-2 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 31, Tyres, rims and valves, Subcommittee SC 3,
Passenger car tyres and rims.

This fourth edition cancels and replaces the third edition (ISO 4000-2:2001), which has been technically
revised.

ISO 4000 consists of the following parts, under the general title Passenger car tyres and rims:

⎯ Part 1: Tyres (metric series)

⎯ Part 2: Rims

Rims

1 Scope

This part of ISO 4000 specifies the designation, contour and dimensions of 5° tapered (drop-centre) rims
primarily intended for passenger cars.

2 Normative references
The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document. For dated
references, only the edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition of the referenced
document (including any amendments) applies.

ISO 3911, Wheels and rims for pneumatic tyres — Vocabulary, designation and marking

3 Terms and definitions

For the purposes of this document, the terms and definitions given in ISO 3911 apply.

4 Designation and marking

The rim shall be designated by its nominal rim-diameter code, nominal rim-width code and rim, flange type
(e.g. 15 ¥ 6 J or 13 ¥ 5.50 B).

6 Valve holes

6.1 General

Valve hole edges on the tyre side of rims shall be rounded or chamfered; valve hole edges on the weather
side of rims shall be free from burrs that could damage the valve.

6.2 Snap-in

To provide for adequate sealing, an unbroken smooth inside surface having at least 0,75 mm or 25 % of rim
thickness, whichever is greater, shall be maintained. Suitable valves shall be used. Valve hole details for
snap-in valves shall be as shown in Figure 3 or 4 for rims with 17,3 mm minimum well depth.

6.3 Other valves

Holes for other valves are under consideration.
