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
Aurora model.
Using the wrong replacement wheels, wheel bolts
or wheel nuts on your vehicle can be dangerous.
It
could affect the braking and handling of your
vehicle, make your tires lose air and make you
lose control.
You
could have
a
collision in which
you or others could be injured. Always use the
correct wheel, wheel bolts and wheel nuts for
replacement.
I
NOTICE:
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.
See “Changing a Flat Tire” in the Index for
more information.
Used Replacement Wheels
Putting
a
used wheel on your vehicle is
dangerous.
You
can’t know how it’s been used or
how
far
it’s been driven. It could fail suddenly
and cause an accident.
If
you have to replace
a
wheel, use
a
new
GM
original equipment wheel.
