Wheel/tire Size And Weight

[Mojavered]

Can someone tell me which will weigh more? An 18" or 17" wheel with a 32.5-33" tire? I am not sure if the rubber weighs more than the wheel or vise-a-versa? Thanks!

if you putting it on a truck, the difference in weight just from going from 17 to 18 wont matter or 32.5 to 33. Its when you change load range from say a D rating to E rating. Weight almost doubles.

Yes, a load range E tire is heavier than a D, but it's not anywhere close to double. If a D weighs 40 pounds, an E might weigh 50 pounds...not 90.
