cracked bosses.
5. If the wheel is bent, or the wheel and nut boss area is cracked, replace the wheel.
Important: Replacement wheels must be equivalent to the original equipment wheels in load capacity, diameter, rim width, offset and mounting
configuration. A wheel of incorrect size or type may affect the wheel and hub bearing life, brake cooling, speedometer and odometer calibration,
vehicle ground clearance and tire clearance to the body and chassis.
Steel wheels can be identified by a two or three letter code stamped into the rim near the valve stem. Aluminum wheels have the code, part number and
manufacturer ID cast into their back side.
NOTICE: Using aftermarket reverse-type wheels, designed to extend the wheel away from the body, will Increase the scrub radius. An Increased scrub
radius may greatly Increase steering effort and reduce hub bearing life.
