Autel IA900WA Tire Wheel Clamps (CSC0500-17)

Description

Autel IA900WA Tire Wheel Clamps (CSC0500-17) ÔÇö Sidewall-Mount Accessory for the IA900WA Alignment and ADAS Calibration System

There are wheel types that make rim-based clamping a non-starter on the Autel IA900WA combined wheel alignment and ADAS calibration system. Chrome wheels, cosmetically sensitive alloys, aftermarket rims with wide or non-standard lips, and certain truck wheel profiles all present problems when you need a secure, stable mount for the camera-tracking targets. The CSC0500-17 Tire Wheel Clamps address this by moving the attachment point entirely off the rim ÔÇö gripping the tire sidewall instead, so you get a firm, dependable hold without making contact with the wheel face.

These clamps are not a standalone system or a substitute for the IA900WA ÔÇö they’re an accessory that extends what your existing setup can handle. For shops that regularly see vehicles where rim clamping isn’t practical, this kit is a direct revenue tool. ADAS calibration jobs that previously walked out due to wheel incompatibility stay on the lift and in your bay.

How the CSC0500-17 Tire Clamps Work

The kit contains four tire clamps, one for each wheel position. A claw mechanism on each unit grips the tire sidewall to provide the mounting point. Once the clamps are in place, they accept the identical camera-tracking targets that come standard with the IA900WA ÔÇö no new target hardware is needed, and nothing changes about the target setup itself.

The calibration workflow remains unchanged. With tire clamps attached and targets seated, the IA900WA frame’s HD cameras read target position the same way they do with rim-mounted targets. The MaxiSYS tablet software calculates vehicle angle, offset, and distance to the calibration frame, and the on-screen guidance walks you through repositioning the frame until every parameter reads green. Once there, you proceed with static ADAS calibration procedures ÔÇö front cameras, radar (ACC), night vision, surround-view (AVM), blind-spot detection ÔÇö exactly as you would in a rim-mount configuration.

Compatible Systems

The CSC0500-17 clamps are confirmed compatible with all Autel optical-placement frame systems that share the same target specification, including:

• IA700 ÔÇö Autel’s entry ADAS frame
• IA800 ÔÇö Mid-tier ADAS calibration system
• IA900WA ÔÇö Full wheel alignment + ADAS combination system
• IA900LDW, IA900AS, IA900WAT, IA900AST variants ÔÇö Specialty configuration IA900 systems
• IA1000 series ÔÇö Autel’s larger-format ADAS frame

If you’re unsure whether these clamps are the right fit for your specific IA900 variant, call us at 800-123-4567 and we’ll verify compatibility before you place an order.

When Tire Clamps Are the Right Choice Over Rim Clamps

• Cosmetic or chrome wheels ÔÇö Rim clamps make direct contact with the wheel surface. Some customers won’t accept that risk, and some shop liability policies prohibit it. Sidewall mounting eliminates wheel contact entirely.
• Aftermarket wheels with non-standard lip profiles ÔÇö Wide lips, deep-dish designs, and flush-mount configurations can prevent rim clamps from seating correctly or staying stable. Tire sidewall contact is unaffected by rim geometry.
• Dually and dual-set truck tires ÔÇö Standard claws may not reach around the outer tire properly. Autel’s extended-claw accessory (CSC0500-17-B) is available specifically for dually applications.
• High-volume shops handling a broad vehicle mix ÔÇö Shops that calibrate everything from sports cars to lifted trucks need both mounting options available. Carrying both rim and tire clamp setups means no vehicle gets turned away because of wheel type.

What’s in the Box

• 4x tire sidewall clamps (CSC0500-17) ÔÇö one per wheel position
• 1-year limited warranty

Camera-tracking targets are NOT included ÔÇö the clamps are built to accept the targets already supplied with your IA900WA or compatible Autel frame system.

Related Accessories

• CSC0500-17-LR ÔÇö Replacement claws for the CSC0500-17 clamps. When claw teeth wear or break over time, these allow you to restore the kit to full function without replacing the entire set.
• CSC0500-17-B ÔÇö Extended claw set designed for dually and double-set truck tires. Sold per clamp unit ÔÇö contact us for per-vehicle quantities.

Who This Kit Is For

If every vehicle in your bay has standard alloy or steel wheels and rim mounting works without issue, you likely don’t need this kit. The CSC0500-17 is aimed at shops that run into rim-mount limitations often enough that it’s costing them jobs or adding unnecessary setup friction. When wheel type is causing you to decline ADAS calibrations ÔÇö or when you’re losing time wrestling with a clamp that won’t seat ÔÇö this kit recoup its cost quickly.

Collision repair shops encounter this scenario constantly. Vehicles arrive with cosmetic damage and the customer is already scrutinizing every detail of how their car is being handled. Mounting clamps on the tire sidewall instead of the wheel face removes any possibility of marking the rim during calibration setup, which is a meaningful distinction in that environment.

Tire Size and Rim Compatibility

Autel does not publish a specific tire size range or rim diameter compatibility chart for the CSC0500-17. If you have specific wheel or tire dimensions you need to confirm, call us at 800-123-4567 and we’ll verify compatibility with Autel technical support before your order is placed.
