Replacing wheels
WHEN TO REPLACE YOUR WHEELS
If you have wheel damage such as
bending, cracks or heavy corrosion, the
wheel should be replaced.
If you fail to replace a damaged wheel,
the tire may slip off the wheel or cause
loss of handling control.
WHEEL SELECTION
When replacing wheels, care should be
taken to ensure that the wheels are re-
recom-
placed by ones with the same load ca-
pacity, diameter, rim width, and offset.
Correct replacement wheels are available
bumps,
at your Toyota dealer.
A wheel of a different size or type may
adversely affect handling, wheel and bear-
ing life, brake cooling, speedometer/odom-
eter calibration, stopping ability, headlight
aim, bumper height, vehicle ground clear-
ance, and tire or snow chain clearance to
the body and chassis.

Replacement with used wheels is not rec-
ommended as they may have been sub-

and could fail without warning. Also, bent
wheels which have been straightened may
have
structural
should not be used. Never use an inner
tube in a leaking wheel which is designed
for a tubeless tire.
Do not use wheels other than the
manufacturer's recommended size, as
this may cause dangerous handling
characteristics resulting in loss of
control. Otherwise, an accident may
occur resulting in death or serious
injuries.
