Installation Tips
- Always torque wheels to 135 Nm (older models) after installation
- Re-check torque after 50–100 km
- Ensure hub rings are used if aftermarket wheels have larger centre bore
- Maintain correct tyre pressure (typically 36–40 PSI depending on load)
Why Correct Fitment Matters
Incorrect wheel or tyre specifications can lead to:
- Vibration at highway speeds
- Uneven tyre wear
- Poor handling and braking
- Safety risks under load
Correct centre bore and torque settings are just as important as tyre size.
