Product Information
Full details
The Intercomp Rim Clamp (13-18 Inch Wheels) is designed for automotive professionals and serious DIYers needing precise wheel alignment measurements. Its primary benefit is ensuring a secure and non-damaging grip on a wide range of wheel sizes, facilitating accurate caster, camber, and KPI readings. A key consideration is that it requires a separate compatible gauge for actual measurements.

FAQs
What is the size range for this Intercomp Rim Clamp?
This specific model is designed for wheel rims ranging from 13 inches to 18 inches in diameter.
Does this product come with a gauge?
No, the Intercomp Rim Clamp is sold individually and does not include a caster/camber gauge. A compatible gauge must be purchased separately.
Will this clamp damage my expensive alloy wheels?
The Rim Clamp is engineered with a design that aims to provide a secure fit without damaging alloy wheels. However, always ensure it is applied correctly and not overtightened.
Can I use this clamp with any brand of caster/camber gauge?
It is designed to work with the Intercomp Digital Castor Camber Gauge and is compatible with other gauges on the market that feature a magnetic adaptor.
How many clamps do I need for a full alignment?
Typically, you would use one clamp per wheel being measured or adjusted simultaneously. Therefore, for measuring both front wheels, you would need two clamps.
What is the main advantage of the dual clamp design?
The dual clamp design ensures a more secure and stable grip on a wider variety of wheel rim profiles, reducing the chance of slippage and ensuring consistent measurement accuracy.
Is this clamp suitable for professional use?
Yes, it features a rugged, commercial-grade design intended for durability and repeated use in professional workshop environments.
Troubleshooting
Clamp does not grip securely
Ensure the wheel rim is clean. Adjust the clamp mechanism to apply more pressure. Verify the wheel size is within the 13-18 inch range.
Clamp marks or damages the alloy wheel
Ensure the correct clamp type is being used for the rim profile. Avoid overtightening; the clamp should be snug, not forced. Check for any sharp edges or debris on the clamp itself.
Gauge does not attach firmly to the clamp
Confirm that your gauge uses a magnetic adaptor. Ensure the mounting surface on the Rim Clamp is clean and free of obstructions. Check that the magnetic base of your gauge is functioning correctly.
Clamp does not fit a specific wheel
Verify the wheel is within the 13" - 18" size range specified for this model. Some highly unconventional rim designs may present fitting challenges; consult product documentation or support if issues persist.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Ensure the wheel rim is clean and free of debris.
- Select the appropriate clamp type (if applicable based on rim design) and position the Rim Clamp onto the wheel rim.
- Adjust the clamp mechanism until it grips the rim securely without excessive force. The dual clamp design should engage firmly.
