Figure 4 - REAR WHEEL LUG NUT USAGE
WARNING:
Use only integral two-piece swiveling lug nuts on 1985 vehicles equipped with dual rear wheels. Do not attempt to use cone shaped
onepiece lug nuts on these vehicles. If used on wrong wheels, cone shaped one-piece lug nuts can come loose in vehicle operation. Do not
attempt to use wheels which have cone shaped lug nut seats on these vehicles. Intermixing of different types of wheels can lead to damage
to the wheel mounting system. Use of cone shaped one-piece nuts or intermixing of wheels could allow wheels to come off while vehicle
is in motion, possibly causing loss of control and a collision. See Figure 4 of the attached sketch for lug nut description."
