flanges of the wheel nuts touch the wheel and the wheel is
not loose.With a compact spare wheel, tighten the wheel nuts until
the tapered parts of the wheel nuts make light contact with
the seats of the wheel holes and the wheel is not loose.

but return to the original wheel and tyre as soon as possi-
ble.
●If all four aluminium wheels are changed to steel wheels,
use tapered nuts.
