Only replace the wheel installed on
the car with a wheel with the same
load capacity, diameter, rim width
and offset.

correctly.
Wheels with different dimensions and
structure may have serious effect on
operability, service life of wheels and
bearings, cooling of brake, calibration of
speedometer and odometer, brake
performance, headlight alignment,
bumper height, ground clearance and
clearance between car body/chassis
and tire /tire chain.
Do not replace the wheel on BYD G3
with a used wheel, which may have
undergone treatment or long travel
mileage, getting the car into trouble
without prior warning. Do not use a
wheel which is repaired after bending,
as it may have structural damage. Do
not use inner tube intended for tubeless
tire on an air-leaking wheel.
Tips
Do not use a wheel with
specifications other than that
