is important to have good metal-to-metal contact between the wheel and
vehicle.

Installing wheels without good metal-to-metal
contact with the mounting surface could cause
loosening of the wheel mounting (lug) nuts. This
could adversely affect the safety and handling of
the vehicle.
NOTE:
Never use oil or grease on studs or wheel mounting (lug)
nuts.
