By purchasing alloy wheels and or
tyres from Performance Alloys.com you or your agent are fully responsible for
the fitting and installation of these alloy wheels and or tyres
correctly. Performance Alloys.com / Toshe Trading Ltd does not
take any responsibility for incorrectly fitted alloy wheels or
tyres, and as such are not liable for any claims. We highly
recommend that in order to ensure the safe use of your alloy wheels
and tyres that you follow our Alloy Wheel Installation Check List
Below:
If For Any Reason You Are Unsure Please
Contact Us.
Before fitting tyres on all aftermarket wheels you MUST check:
-
The stud/bolt hole pattern is
correct.
-
That the alloy wheel fits freely
on to the hub without interference, and that there are no
screws, rivets or retaining clips which may interfere with a
firm flat location of the hub against the wheel mounting face.
-
That the alloy wheel rotates
freely and truly on both front and rear hubs.
-
When fastened to the hub, that no
part of the wheel can make contact with the brake drums or
callipers; or any other part of the steering or suspension.
Check Nuts/Bolts: Correct fitting
is vital BE SURE:
-
That the thread form is correct
(fits nuts without alloy wheels).
-
That the nut/bolt location
seating is correct.
-
That the stud length is adequate
for minimum thread penetration of approximately 1 x stud
diameter and not too long as to permit bottoming of the stud in
the nut or that the thread penetration of the bolt protrudes
through the hub housing to cause damage to internal brake or hub
components.
-
That the threads are rust free,
and not over lubricated
-
When sleeve nuts are used, that
the shank diameter is correct and that the bearing washers are
always used.
When Fitting the Tyre Make Sure:
-
That the alloy wheel rim size is
compatible with tyre size.
-
Be Wary of scratching the
protective lacquer coating. (On aluminium wheels and some chrome
wheels) Aluminium corrodes very easily once exposed to
atmosphere, water, road salt or corrosive acid based alloy wheel
cleaners and chemicals.
-
Where possible always use the
adhesive type of balance weight, as these help to avoid
scratching of the alloy wheel finish.
Finally Check:
-
That the alloy wheel and tyre
assembly does not contact any part of the suspension, body work
or internal hub components (brakes, sensors etc) by carrying out
full bump and lock to lock tests as well as a full visual
inspection of the back / hub section of the alloy wheel fixing
assembly before driving away from the fitting bay.
Do not take risks - Wheel
Security is vital check with us if you have any doubts.
We would also recommend that after a period of around
20miles that you check your wheels to ensure security as some alloy
wheels may need time to bed in correctly.
