Aluminum Wheel

INSTALLATION
TIRE AND WHEEL ASSEMBLY (ALUMINUM WHEEL)

WARNING: INSTALLING WHEELS WITHOUT GOOD METAL-TO-METAL CONTACT WITH THE MOUNTING SURFACE COULD CAUSE LOOSENING OF THE WHEEL MOUNTING (LUG) NUTS. THIS COULD ADVERSELY AFFECT THE SAFETY AND HANDLING OF THE VEHICLE.

NOTE: Never use oil or grease on studs or wheel mounting (lug) nuts.

1. Clean the wheel mounting surfaces, removing any build-up of corrosion. It is important to have good metal-to-metal contact between the wheel and the vehicle.





2. Position the tire and wheel assembly (1) on the wheel mounting studs using the hub pilot as a guide. Place and hold the wheel flush up against the mounting surface.

NOTE: Always use the original (OEM) style wheel mounting (lug) nuts. Do not use replacement parts of lesser quality or substitute design.

3. Loosely install all five wheel mounting (lug) nuts (3).





4. Lightly snug the wheel mounting nuts, then progressively tighten them in the proper sequence shown. Tighten nuts to 150 Nm (110 ft. lbs.).
5. Lower the vehicle.
