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 vehicle.
A
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.
See “Changing
a
Flat Tire”
in
the Index for
more
information.
Used Replacement Wheels
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
an
accident.
If
you have to replace a
wheel, use a new
GM
original equipment wheel.
