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:
Wheels of different sizes or types
Used wheels
Bent wheels that have been
straightened
■
When replacing wheels (vehicles
with a tire pressure warning sys-
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, the tire pressure warning
valves and transmitters must be
installed. (P.376)

WARNING
■
When replacing wheels
Do not use wheels that are a differ-
●
ent size from those recommended
in the Owner's Manual, as this may
result in a loss of handling control.
Never use an inner tube in a leak-
●
ing wheel which is designed for a
tubeless tire.
Doing so may result in an accident,
causing death or serious injury.
■
When installing the wheel nuts
Be sure to install the wheel nuts
●
with the tapered ends facing
inward. Installing the nuts with the
tapered ends facing outward can
cause the wheel to break and even-
tually cause the wheel to come off
while driving, which could lead to an
accident resulting in death or seri-
ous injury.
Tapered portion
●
Never use oil or grease on the
wheel bolts or wheel nuts.
Oil and grease may cause the
wheel nuts to be excessively tight-
ened, leading to bolt or disc wheel
damage. In addition, the oil or
grease can cause the wheel nuts to
loosen and the wheel may fall off,
causing an accident and resulting in
death or serious injury. Remove any
oil or grease from the wheel bolts or
wheel nuts.
