Wheels: Description and Operation

WHEEL

All vehicles use either steel or cast aluminum drop center wheels. The original equipment wheels are designed for proper operation at all loads up to the
specified maximum vehicle capacity.

Every wheel has raised sections between the rim flanges (1) and drop well (3) called safety humps (2). In case of air loss, these raised sections help hold
the tire in position on the wheel until the vehicle can be brought to a safe stop. When being installed on the wheel, initial inflation of the tire forces the
tire bead over these raised sections into place.

The wheels used on All-Wheel-Drive (AWD) vehicles have a shallower dish (larger offset) than Rear-Wheel-Drive (RWD) wheels to accommodate the
AWD suspension geometry and half shaft package, while maintaining the same track as RWD vehicles.

The wheel studs and nuts are designed for specific wheel applications and must be replaced with equivalent parts. Do not use replacement parts of lesser
quality or of a substitute design. All aluminum and steel wheels have wheel stud nuts with an enlarged nose. This enlarged nose is necessary to ensure
proper retention of the wheels.
