ROAD WHEEL TIRE ASSEMBLY


Conventional Tire and Wheel


BALANCING WHEELS
1. Remove inner and outer balance weights from the road wheel.

CAUTION:
Be careful not to scratch the road wheel during removal.
2. Using releasing agent, remove double-faced adhesive tape from the road wheel.

CAUTION:
- Be careful not to scratch the road wheel during removal.
- After removing double-faced adhesive tape, wipe clean traces of releasing agent from the road wheel.
3. Set road wheel on wheel balancer using the center hole as a guide. Start the tire balance machine.
- If a tire balance machine has adhesion balance weight mode settings and drive-in weight mode setting, select and adjust a drive-in weight mode suitable for road wheels.





4. When inner and outer unbalance values are shown on the wheel balancer indicator, multiply outer unbalance value by 1.6 to determine balance weight that should be used. Select the outer balance weight with a value closest to the calculated value above and install it to the designated outer position of, or at the designated angle in relation to the road wheel.

CAUTION:
- Do not install the inner balance weight before installing the outer balance weight.
- Before installing the balance weight, be sure to clean the mating surface of the road wheel.
Calculation:
Indicated unbalance value x 1.6 = balance weight to be installed
Calculation example:
23 g (0.81 oz) x 1.6 = 38.33 g (1.35 oz) = 40 g (1.41 oz) balance weight (closer to calculated balance weight value)

NOTE:
The selected balance weight value must be the closest balance weight available to the calculated balance weight value.
Example:
37. 4 = 35 g (1.23 oz)
37. 5 = 40 g (1.41 oz)






a. Install balance weight in the position shown.
b. When installing balance weight to road wheels, set it into the grooved area on the inner wall of the road wheel as shown in the figure so that the balance weight center is aligned with the wheel balancer indication position (angle).

CAUTION:
- Always use Genuine NISSAN adhesion balance weights.
- Balance weights are not reusable; always replace with new ones.
- Do not install more than three pieces of balance weight.






c. If calculated balance weight value exceeds 50 g (1.76 oz), install two balance weight pieces in line with each other (as shown in the figure).

CAUTION:
Do not install one balance weight piece on top of another.



5. Start wheel balancer again.
6. Install drive-in balance weight on inner side of road wheel in the wheel balancer indication position (angle).

CAUTION:
Do not install more than two balance weights.
7. Start wheel balancer. Make sure that inner and outer residual unbalance values are 5 g (0.18 oz) each or less.
- If either residual unbalance value exceeds 5 g (0.18 oz), repeat installation procedures.
Wheel balance (Maximum allowable unbalance):






ROTATION
- After rotating the tires, adjust the tire pressure.





- Retighten the wheel nuts when the vehicle has been driven for 1,000 km (600 miles) (also in cases of a flat tire, etc.).

CAUTION:
When installing wheels, tighten them diagonally by dividing the work two to three times in order to prevent the wheels from developing any distortion.

Tightening torque of wheel nut : 112 N.m (11 kg-m, 83 ft-lb)
