4-3. Do-it-yourself maintenance
Wheels
If your wheel is bent, cracked or heavily corroded, the wheel should be
replaced.
Otherwise, the tire may separate from the wheel or cause loss of handling
control.
■ Wheel selection
When replacing wheels, care should be taken to ensure that they are
equivalent to those removed in load capacity, diameter, rim width, and
offset.
Replacement wheels are available at your Lexus dealer.
Lexus does not recommend using:
• A wheel of a different size or type;
• Used wheels; or
• Bent wheels that have been straightened.
■ Aluminum wheel precautions
●
Use only Lexus wheel nuts and a wrench designed for your alumi-
num wheels if you have rotated, repaired or changed your tires.
●
Check that the wheel nuts are still tight after driving 1000 miles
(1600 km).
●
Be careful not to damage the aluminum wheels when using tire
chains.
●
Use only Lexus balance weights or equivalent and a plastic or rub-
ber hammer when balancing your wheels.
