Replacement Wheels Description

Replace the wheel if any of the following conditions exist:

    • The wheel exhibits excessive runout.
    • The wheel is bent.
    • The wheel is cracked.
    • The wheel is severely rusted.
    • The wheel is severely corroded.

       Note: Air leaks caused by porosity on aluminum wheels are repairable.

    • The wheel leaks air.

Warning: If you are replacing the wheel(s), the wheel stud(s), the wheel nut(s) or the wheel bolt(s), install only new GM original equipment parts. Installation of used parts or non-GM original equipment parts may cause the wheel to loosen, loss of tire air pressure, poor vehicle handling and loss of vehicle control resulting in personal injury.

Caution: The use of non-GM original equipment wheels may cause:

   • Damage to the wheel bearing, the wheel fasteners and the wheel
   • Tire damage caused by the modified clearance to the adjacent vehicle components
   • Adverse vehicle steering stability caused by the modified scrub radius
   • Damage to the vehicle caused by the modified ground clearance
   • Speedometer and odometer inaccuracy

Replace the wheel, the wheel studs and the wheel/nuts, or the wheel bolts if applicable, if any of the following conditions exist:

    • The wheel has elongated bolt holes.
    • The wheel/nuts, or bolts if applicable, loosen repeatedly.

Steel wheel identification is stamped into the wheel near the valve stem.

Aluminum wheel identification is cast into the inboard side of the wheel.
