GENERALITIES

The wheels (rims and tyres) fitted to the vehicle are those which are the most suited to its characteristics and guarantee the highest degree of safety and comfort under all normal driving conditions. Before replacing rims and tyres check the CHARACTERISTIC DATA table. The original rim-tyre arrangement should be maintained when replacing wheels.

RIMS

Steel and alloy wheels must be fitted to the vehicle using the bolts which are specific to each type of rim.

1. Bolt for alloy rims.
2. Bolt for steel rims.

When replacing steel rims with alloy rims or vice-versa:

• use the specific bolts (type 1 or 2) depending on the type of rims fitted.
• the rims of the compact spare wheel must also be replaced with those of the specific type.

SPARE WHEEL

The rim of the spare wheel (steel only) and the relative bolts are specific to the type of rim (steel or alloy) of the wheels fitted to the vehicle.

1. Bolts for alloy rims
2. Bolts for steel rims
3. Wheel with steel rim
4. Wheel with alloy rim
5. Spare wheel for steel rims
6. Spare wheel for alloy rims
7. Rivetted spacer

Therefore:

• When replacing steel rims with alloy rims or vice-versa, the rim of the spare wheel must be replaced with the corresponding type, (6) or (5).
• When fitting the spare wheel the specific bolts (1) or (2) must be used.
