Wheels; Wheel Bolts; Wheel Removal - Lotus Evora 400 2018 Owner's Handbook Manual

Wheels

Ensure that only original equip-
ment, or Lotus approved wheel
and tire combinations are fitted.
After striking a pothole or kerb,
the wheels should be removed
and the wheel and tire thoroughly
inspected for damage. If neces-
sary, renew the wheel and/or tire.
Safety considerations should al-
ways be paramount and new parts
fitted in any cases of doubt.

Wheel Bolts

The wheel bolts used are designed
to match the wheel hole profile
and hub thread and should not be
substituted by any other bolt.
