Notice: 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 |
Important: Replacement wheels must be equivalent to the original equipment wheels
in load capacity, diameter, rim width, offset and mounting configuration.
A wheel of improper size or type may affect the wheel and bearing life, the
brake cooling, the speedometer/odometer calibration, the vehicle ground clearance
and the tire clearance to the body and the chassis.
Replace wheels under the following conditions:
| • | The wheels are bent or dented |
| • | The wheels have excessive radial runout |
| • | The wheels leak air through the wheel welds |
| • | The wheels have elongated bolt holes |
| • | The wheel nuts do not stay tight |
| • | The wheels are very rusty |
Wheels with excessive runnout may cause objectionable vibrations.
Steel wheels are identified by a two or three letter code stamped into
the rim near the valve stem. Aluminum wheels have the code, part number, and
manufacturer ID cast into their back side.
