Replace any wheel that is bent, cracked or badly rusted or corroded. If wheel nuts keep coming loose, replace the wheel. If the wheel leaks air, replace it.

Your dealer will know the kind of wheel you need.

Each new wheel should have the same load-carrying capacity, diameter, width, offset and be mounted the same way as the one it replaces.

If you need to replace any of your wheels, wheel bolts or wheel nuts, replace them only with new GM original equipment parts. This way, you will be sure to have the right wheel, wheel bolts and wheel nuts for your vehicle.

Caution: A leaking wheel could fail without warning. A wheel designed for tubeless tires could be leaking because it is damaged. Do not use an inner tube or some other thing to try to stop the leaking. Get a new wheel of the proper type.

Caution: Without the correct wheel, wheel bolts or wheel nuts, you may not be able to stop properly, and you could have other problems like a tire air-out. You could have a collision. If you do not go to your dealer to get a new wheel, wheel bolts or wheel nuts, be sure you get the correct ones. Each new wheel should match the original wheel in load-carrying capacity, inflation pressure capacity, diameter, width, offset and mounting configuration.

Using wheels and tires with higher load-carrying limits than the original wheels and tires doesn't change the GAWR or the GVWR of your vehicle. See "Loading Your Vehicle" for more information.

Notice: The wrong wheel can cause trouble in bearing life, brake cooling, speedometer/odometer calibration, headlamp aim, bumper height, vehicle ground clearance, stopping distance and tire clearance to the body and chassis. You could also have other problems like a tire air-out.

Caution: Putting a used wheel on the vehicle is dangerous. You cannot know how it has been used or how far it has been driven. It could fail suddenly and cause a crash. If you have to replace a wheel, use a new GM original equipment wheel.
