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 wheel mounting surfaces, removing any build-up of corrosion. It is important to have good metal-to-metal contact between wheel and vehicle.
2. Position tire and wheel assembly (1) on wheel mounting studs using hub pilot as guide. Place and hold wheel flush up against 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 all wheel mounting nuts, then progressively tighten them in proper sequence shown. Tighten wheel mounting nuts to 150 Nm (110 ft. lbs.).




5. If applicable, install wheel center cap (4).
