The wrong wheel can also cause problems with
bearing life, brake cooling, speedometer or
odometer calibration, headlamp aim, bumper
height, vehicle ground clearance and tire or
tire chain clearance to the body and chassis.

Used Replacement Wheels
CAUTION:
Putting a used wheel on your vehicle is

how far it's been driven. It could fail suddenly
and cause a crash. If you have to replace a wheel,
use a new GM original equipment wheel.

Tire Chains

NOTICE:
Use tire chains only where legal and only
when you must. Use only SAE Class "S" type
chains that are the proper size for your tires.
Install them on the front tires and tighten them
as tightly as possible with the ends securely
fastened. Drive slowly and follow the chain
manufacturer's instructions. If you can hear
the chains contacting your vehicle, stop and
retighten them. If the contact continues,
slow down until it stops. Driving too fast or
spinning the wheels with chains on will damage
your vehicle.
