Warning
|
|
If you are replacing the wheel(s), the wheel stud(s), the wheel nut(s) or the wheel bolt(s), install only new GM original equipment parts. Installation of used parts or non-GM original equipment parts may cause the wheel to loosen, loss of tire air pressure, poor vehicle handling and loss of vehicle control resulting in personal injury.

|
The use of non-GM original equipment wheels may cause:
|
|
•
|
Damage to the wheel bearing, the wheel fasteners and the wheel
|
|
•
|
Tire damage caused by the modified clearance to the adjacent vehicle components
|
|
•
|
Adverse vehicle steering stability caused by the modified scrub radius
|
|
•
|
Damage to the vehicle caused by the modified ground clearance
|
|
•
|
Speedometer and odometer inaccuracy
|
|
|
|
|
|
Replace the wheel, the wheel studs and the wheel/nuts, or the wheel bolts if applicable, if any of the following conditions exist:
|
•
|
The wheel has elongated bolt holes.
|
|
•
|
The wheel/nuts, or bolts if applicable, loosen repeatedly.

Aluminum wheel identification is cast into the inboard side of the wheel.
When replacing wheels/tires/rims using other dimensions always use the diagnostic tool to program the new values to avoid inaccuracy for e.g. speedometer, odometer and TPMS.
