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:

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.

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

CAUTION:

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.
