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
Oldsmobile model.

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.
