WHEELS
DESCRIPTION
WHEEL
All vehicles use either steel or cast aluminum drop
center wheels. The original equipment wheels are
designed for proper operation at all loads up to the
specified maximum vehicle capacity.
Every wheel has raised sections between the rim
flanges (1) and drop well (3) called safety humps (2).
In case of air loss, these raised sections help hold the
tire in position on the wheel until the vehicle can be
brought to a safe stop. When being installed on the
wheel, initial inflation of the tire forces the tire bead
over these raised sections into place.
The wheels used on All-Wheel-Drive (AWD) vehicles
have a shallower dish (larger offset) than Rear-Wheel-
Drive (RWD) wheels to accommodate the AWD sus-
pension geometry and half shaft package, while
maintaining the same track as RWD vehicles.
The wheel studs and nuts are designed for specific wheel applications and must be replaced with equivalent parts.
Do not use replacement parts of lesser quality or of a substitute design. All aluminum and steel wheels have wheel
stud nuts with an enlarged nose. This enlarged nose is necessary to ensure proper retention of the wheels.
