WARNING:

Installing wheels without good metal-to-metal contact with the mounting surface could cause loosening of the wheel mounting (lug) bolts. This could adversely affect the safety and handling of the vehicle.

NOTE:

Never use oil or grease on studs or wheel mounting (lug) bolts.

Clean the wheel mounting surfaces, removing any build-up of corrosion. It is important to have good metal-to-metal contact between the wheel and vehicle.
Position the tire and wheel assembly on the wheel mounting pins (1). There are two holes in the wheel that line up with the mounting pins. Place and hold the wheel flush up against the mounting surface.
