originally installed
on your vehicle.

may adversely affect wheel and
bearing life, brake cooling, speed
ometer/odometer calibration,
ve
hicle ground clearance, and tire
clearance to the body

which may have been subjected to
harsh operating conditions
or very
high mileage is
not recommended.
These wheels
may fail prematurely
without any prior visual indication.
