are equivalent to those removed in
load capacity, diameter, rim width
and inset
*
.
Replacement wheels are available
at a SUZUKI dealer or a qualified
workshop.
*
: Conventionally referred to as offset.
Suzuki does not recommend using
the following:
 Wheels of different sizes or types
 Used wheels
 Bent wheels that have been
straightened
■
When replacing wheels
The wheels of your vehicle are equipped
with tire pressure warning valves and
transmitters that allow the tire pressure
warning system to provide advance
warning in the event of a loss in tire
inflation pressure. Whenever wheels are
replaced, tire pressure warning valves
and transmitters must be installed.

Wheels
If a wheel is bent, cracked or
heavily corroded, it should be
replaced. Otherwise, the tire
may separate from the wheel
or cause a loss of handling
control.

WARNING
■
When replacing wheels
● Do not use wheels that are a differ-
ent size from those recommended
in the Owner’s Manual, as this may
result in a loss of handling control.
●
Never use an inner tube in a leak-
ing wheel which is designed for a
tubeless tire. Doing so may result in
an accident, causing death or seri-
ous injury.
■
When installing the wheel nuts
●
Be sure to install the wheel nuts
with the tapered ends facing
inward. (

P.526) Installing the nuts
with the tapered ends facing out-
ward can cause the wheel to break
and eventually cause the wheel to
come off while driving, which could
lead to an accident resulting in
death or serious injury.
●
Never use oil or grease on the
wheel bolts or wheel nuts. Oil and
grease may cause the wheel nuts
to be excessively tightened, leading
to bolt or disc wheel damage. In
addition, the oil or grease can
cause the wheel nuts to loosen and
the wheel may fall off, causing an
accident and resulting in death or
serious injury. Remove any oil or
grease from the wheel bolts or
wheel nuts.
■
Use of defective wheels prohib-
ited
Do not use cracked or deformed
wheels.
Doing so could cause the tire to leak
air during driving, possibly causing an
accident.
