Autel 1A900 Tire Wheel Clamps ADAS (CSC0500-17) — Tire-Mount Option for the IA900WA Alignment and ADAS Calibration System

If you run the Autel IA900WA combined wheel alignment and ADAS calibration system, there are situations where the standard rim clamps simply won't work — chrome wheels, cosmetic alloys, wide-lip aftermarket rims, and certain truck wheel profiles all create headaches when you're trying to get a secure, stable mount for the camera-tracking targets. The CSC0500-17 Tire Wheel Clamps solve that problem by shifting the attachment point from the rim to the tire sidewall, giving you a firm, reliable grip without touching the wheel face.

This is not a replacement for the IA900WA system — it's an accessory that expands what your existing system can handle. If your shop regularly sees vehicles where rim clamping is impractical, these clamps are a direct revenue enabler. The calibration job that walked out the door last month because you couldn't safely clamp the customer's aftermarket wheels? That job stays in-house with this kit.

What the CSC0500-17 Tire Clamps Are and How They Work

The kit includes four tire clamps — one for each corner of the vehicle. Each clamp grips the tire sidewall using a claw mechanism. Once attached, they accept the same camera-tracking targets that ship standard with your IA900WA system, so you're not buying or swapping out target hardware — just changing where the target mounts.

The workflow itself doesn't change. With the tire clamps attached and targets in place, the IA900WA frame's HD cameras read target position exactly as they do with rim-mounted targets. The MaxiSYS tablet software calculates vehicle angle, offset, and distance to the calibration frame, and on-screen prompts guide you to reposition the frame until all parameters hit green. At that point you're ready to run static ADAS calibration procedures — front cameras, radar (ACC), night vision, surround-view (AVM), blind-spot — exactly as you would with the rim-mount configuration.

Compatible Systems

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

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

If you're not sure whether these clamps are compatible with your specific IA900 variant, call us at 866-217-0063 and we'll confirm before you order.

When Do You Need Tire Clamps Instead of Rim Clamps?

• Cosmetic or chrome wheels — Rim-mounted clamps contact the wheel surface. Some customers (and some shop liability policies) won't allow that. Tire clamps avoid the contact entirely.
• Aftermarket wheels with non-standard lip profiles — Wide lips, deep dishes, and flush-mount designs can make rim clamps unstable or impossible to seat correctly. Tire clamp contact on the sidewall is unaffected by rim geometry.
• Dually and dual-set truck tires — Standard claws may not reach around the outer tire properly. Autel offers extended-claw accessories (CSC0500-17-B) specifically for dually applications.
• High-volume shops that handle a wide vehicle mix — Shops that calibrate everything from sports cars to lifted trucks need both rim and tire mounting options. Having both available means no job gets turned away due to wheel incompatibility.

What's in the Box

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

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

Related Accessories

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

Who Should Buy This

You don't need these clamps if every vehicle you calibrate has standard alloy or steel wheels where rim mounting works without issue. The CSC0500-17 is for shops that encounter rim-mount limitations often enough that it's costing them jobs or adding setup time. If you're turning away ADAS calibrations because of wheel type, or spending extra time fighting a clamp that won't seat right, this kit pays for itself quickly.

Collision repair shops see this scenario constantly — vehicles come in with cosmetic damage and the customer is already watching every detail. Tire-sidewall mounting avoids any risk of marking the wheel during calibration setup, which matters in that environment.

Exact Tire Size and Rim Compatibility

Autel does not publish a specific tire size range or rim diameter compatibility chart for the CSC0500-17. Contact us at 866-217-0063 with your specific wheel/tire sizes and we'll confirm compatibility with Autel technical support before you order.
