Wheels with different dimensions and

performance, headlight alignment,
bumper height, ground clearance and
clearance between car body/chassis
and tire /tire chain.
Do not replace the wheel on BYD L3

undergone treatment or long travel
mileage, getting the car into trouble
without prior warning. Do not use a
wheel which is repaired after bending,
as it may have structural damage. Do
not use inner tube intended for
tubeless tire on an air-leaking wheel.
TIPS
Do not use a wheel with
specifications other than that
recommended by the
