{ CAUTION:<br />

Using the wrong replacement wheels, wheel bolts,<br />

or wheel nuts on your vehicle can be dangerous.<br />

It could affect the braking and handling of your<br />

vehicle, make your tires lose air and make you<br />

lose control. You could have a collision in which<br />

you or others could be injured. Always use the<br />

correct wheel, wheel bolts, and wheel nuts for<br />

replacement.<br />

Notice: The wrong wheel can also cause problems<br />

with bearing life, brake cooling, speedometer or<br />

odometer calibration, headlamp aim, bumper height,<br />

vehicle ground clearance, and tire or tire chain<br />

clearance to the body and chassis.<br />

Whenever a wheel, wheel bolt or wheel nut is replaced<br />

on a dual wheel setup, check the wheel nut torque<br />

after 100, 1,000 and 6,000 miles (160, 1 600 and<br />

10 000 km) of driving. For proper torque, see “Wheel<br />

Nut Torque” under Capacities and Specifications<br />

on page 5-111.<br />

See Changing a Flat Tire on page 5-80 for more<br />

information.<br />

Used Replacement Wheels<br />

{ CAUTION:<br />

Putting a used wheel on the vehicle is dangerous.<br />

You cannot know how it has been used or how<br />

far it has been driven. It could fail suddenly and<br />

cause a crash. If you have to replace a wheel,<br />

use a new <strong>GM</strong> original equipment wheel.<br />
