Wheel runout [Limit]
Steel wheel
- Radial:0.6mm (0.028 in.) : Average of LH & RH)
- Axial : 1.0mm (0.039 in.)
Aluminum wheel
- Radial : 0.3mm (0.012 in.)

Tightening torque
Steel and aluminum alloy wheel.
Specified torque
90~110 Nm (900~1,100 kgf·cm, 65~80 lb·ft)
When using an impact gun, final tightening torque should be checked using a torque wrench.
Tightening order
Check the torque again after tightening the wheel nuts diagonally.
Rotate the front right and front left tires, and perform a road test in order to confirm vehicle stability.
If the steering pulls to the opposite side, rotate the front and rear tires, and perform a road test again.
If the steering continues to pull to one side, rotate the front right and left tires again, and perform a road test.
If the steering continues to pull to the opposite side, replace the front wheels with new ones.
