Wheels - Toyota 2016 Camry Hybrid Owner's Manual

Wheels

If a wheel is bent, cracked or heavily corroded, it should be
replaced. Otherwise, the tire may separate from the wheel or
cause a loss of handling control.
Wheel selection
When replacing wheels, care should be taken to ensure that they are
equivalent to those removed in load capacity, diameter, rim width and
*
inset .
Replacement wheels are available at your Toyota dealer.
*
: Conventionally referred to as "offset".
Toyota does not recommend using the following:
l Wheels of different sizes or types
l Used wheels
l Bent wheels that have been straightened
Aluminum wheel precautions (if equipped)
l Use only Toyota wheel nuts and wrenches designed for use with
your aluminum wheels.
l When rotating, repairing or changing your tires, check that the
wheel nuts are still tight after driving 1000 miles (1600 km).
l Be careful not to damage the aluminum wheels when using tire
chains.
l Use only Toyota genuine balance weights or equivalent and a plas-
tic or rubber hammer when balancing your wheels.
When replacing wheels (vehicles with a tire pressure warning sys-
n
tem)
The wheels of your vehicle are equipped with tire pressure warning
valves and transmitters that allow the tire pressure warning system to
provide advance warning in the event of a loss in tire inflation pressure.
Whenever wheels are replaced, tire pressure warning valves and trans-
mitters must be installed. (P. 409)
