{CAUTION:

Using the wrong replacement wheels, wheel

bolts or wheel nuts on your vehicle can be

dangerous. It could affect the braking and

handling of your vehicle, make your tires lose

air and make you lose control. You could have

a collision in which you or others could be

injured. Always use the correct wheel, wheel

bolts and wheel nuts for replacement.

Notice:

The wrong wheel can also cause problems

with bearing life, brake cooling, speedometer or

odometer calibration, headlamp aim, bumper height,

vehicle ground clearance and tire or tire chain

clearance to the body and chassis.

Whenever a wheel, wheel bolt or wheel nut is replaced

on a dual wheel setup, check the wheel nut torque

after 100, 1,000 and 6,000 miles (160, 1 600 and

10 000 km) of driving. For proper torque, see “Wheel Nut

Torque” under

Capacities and Speciﬁcations on

page 5-118

Used Replacement Wheels

{CAUTION:

Putting a used wheel on your vehicle is

dangerous. You can’t know how it’s been used

or how far it’s been driven. It could fail

suddenly and cause a crash. If you have to

replace a wheel, use a new GM original

equipment wheel.
