Each new wheel should have the same load-carrying
capacity, diameter, width, offset and be mounted
the same way as the one it replaces.
If you need to replace any of your wheels, wheel bolts or
wheel nuts, replace them only with new
GM original
equipment parts.
This
way, you will be sure to have the
right wheel, wheel bolts and wheel nuts for your vehicle.

Wheels
Putting a used wheel on your vehicle is
dangerous. You can’t know how it’s been used
or how far
it’s
been driven.
It
could fail suddenly
and cause a crash.
If
you have to replace a
wheel, use a new
GM
original equipment wheel.
