CAUTION:
Without the correct wheel, you may not be
able to stop properly, and you could have
other problems like a tire air-out. You
could have a collision. If you do not go to
your dealer to get a new wheel, be sure
you get the correct one. Each new wheel
should match the original wheel in
load-carrying capacity, inflation pressure
capacity, diameter, width, offset and
mounting configuration.
Using wheels and tires with higher load-carrying
limits than the original wheels and tires does
not change the Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR)
or the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) of
your vehicle. See
Loading Your Vehicle on
page 238 for more information.
Notice: The wrong wheel can cause trouble in
bearing life, brake cooling,
speedometer/odometer calibration, headlamp
aim, bumper height, vehicle ground clearance,
stopping distance and tire clearance to the
body and chassis. You could also have other
problems like a tire air-out.
Used Replacement Wheels
{
CAUTION:
Putting a used wheel on your vehicle is
dangerous. You cannot know how it has
been used or how far it has been driven. It
could fail suddenly and cause a crash. If
you have to replace a wheel, use a new
GM original equipment wheel.
