6 Fit the wheel and screw in the bolts in the
sequence shown (opposite pairs).
Tighten the bolts enough for the bolts
and wheel to be seated correctly.
7 Lower the car and tighten the wheel
bolts to torque in sequence.
Tightening torque:
Light-alloy wheels: 110 Nm.
Steel wheels: 110 Nm.
Grease the surfaces indicated with a thin
layer of grease
NOTICE
• Do not overtighten the bolts using a
percussion nut tightener: not only can
this damage the wheels but it can also
make it impossible to undo the bolts
using the wheel wrench in the car's
toolkit.
8 Retighten the wheel bolts after twenty or
so miles.
Tightening torque:
Light-alloy wheels: 110 Nm.
Steel wheels: 110 Nm.
Tightening sequence, wheel bolts
We advise against using wheels with large
ventilation slots in winter, as the brake com-
ponents are then more exposed to slush,
road salt and grit.
If you fit wheels of a different size, the
speedometer can be reprogrammed to
ensure it is as accurate as possible. We
recommend that you contact an authorised
Cadillac workshop.
