Scheduled wheel alignment and wheel balancing are
not needed. However,
if
you notice unusual tire wear or
your vehicle pulling one way or the other, the alignment
may need to be reset.
If
you notice your vehicle
vibrating when driving on a smooth road, your wheels
may need to be rebalanced.
Wheel
Replacement
Replace any wheel that is bent, cracked or badly rusted
or corroded.
If
wheel nuts keep coming loose, the
wheel, wheel bolts and wheel nuts should be replaced.
If
the wheel leaks air, replace it (except some
aluminum wheels, which can sometimes be repaired).
See your dealer
if
any
of
these conditions exist.
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.

The wrong wheel can also cause problems
with bearing life, brake cooling, speedometer or
odometer calibration, headlamp aim, bumper height,
vehicle ground clearance and tire or tire chain
clearance to the body and chassis.
