Wheel replacement

When replacing the metal wheels for

any reason, make sure the new

wheels are equivalent to the original

factory units in diameter, rim width

and offset.

Tire sidewall labeling

Federal law requires tire manufactur-

ers to place standardized information

on the sidewall of all tires. This infor-

mation identifies and describes the

fundamental characteristics of the

tire and also provides the tire identifi-

cation number (TIN) for safety stan-

dard certification. The TIN can be

used to identify the tire in case of a

recall.

1. Manufacturer or brand name

Manufacturer or Brand name is

shown.

2. Tire size designation

A tire’s sidewall is marked with a tire

size designation. You will need this

information when selecting replace-

ment tires for your car. The following

explains what the letters and num-

bers in the tire size designation

mean.

WARNING

A wheel that is not the correct

size may adversely affect wheel

and bearing life, braking and

stopping abilities, handling

characteristics, ground clear-

ance, body-to-tire clearance,

snow chain clearance,

speedometer calibration, head-

light aim and bumper height.
