Replacement Wheels Description

NOTICE: The use of aftermarket reverse-type wheels, designed to extend the wheel away from the body, will increase the scrub radius. An increased scrub radius may greatly increase steering effort and reduce hub bearing life.

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 runout 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.
