17mm socket, extension & torque wrench

Wheels

Ensure that only original equipment, or Lotus approved wheel
and tire combinations are fitted.
WARNING
After striking a pothole or kerb, the wheels should be removed
and the wheel and tire thoroughly inspected for damage. If
necessary, renew the wheel and/or tire. Safety considera
tions should always be paramount and new parts fitted in any
cases of doubt.

Wheel Bolts

The wheel bolts used on the Evora are designed to match the
wheel hole profile and hub thread, and should not be substituted
by any other bolt.
To protect against wheel theft, one of the five bolts securing
each wheel is key coded, and requires a corresponding coded
socket wrench supplied with the car. Rotate the coded socket
until full engagement with the bolt head is ensured and take care
to maintain the extension tool perpendicular to the wheel face
before applying release torque.
A tightening torque of 77.5 lbf.ft (105 Nm) is required for all
wheel bolts.
NOTICE
bolts - use only manual tools.
