Wheel Replacement
Replace any wheel that is bent, cracked or badly rusted. If wheel nuts keep
coming loose, the wheel, wheel bolts, and wheel nuts should be replaced.
If
the wheel leaks air, replace
it
(except some aluminum wheels, which can
sometimes be repaired). See your
GM
dealer
if
any
of
these conditions exist.
Your dealer will know
the
kind
of
wheel you need.
Each new wheel should have the same load carrying capacity, diameter,
width, offset, and be mounted the same way
as
the one
it
replaces.
If
you
need to replace any
of
your wheels, wheel bolts, or wheel nuts,
replace them only with new
GM
original equipment parts. This way,
you
will be sure to have the right wheel, wheel bolts, and wheel nuts for your
GM
model.
NOTICE:
The wrong wheel can also cause problems with bearing life,
brake cooling, speedometer/odometer calibration, headlight aim,
bumper height, vehicle ground clearance, and tire or tire chain
clearance to the body and chassis.
