Important information regarding wheel bolts
The design of rims and wheel bolts is matched to the factory-
installed wheels. If different wheels are installed, wheel bolts with
the right length and bolt head shape must be used. The attachment
of the wheels and function of the brake system depend on this.
It may not be possible to use wheel bolts from different vehicles of
the same model.
On a wheel with a wheel cover, the anti-theft wheel bolt (if
equipped) must be installed at points → Fig. 214 ② or ③ in
relation to the position of the tire valve ①. Otherwise, the wheel
cover cannot be installed.
