The rims not only perform a mechanical function, but also give the vehicle a unique character. Therefore, many car owners have a desire to replace standard wheels with more beautiful and practical counterparts.
It is necessary
- - new discs;
- - rubber for disks;
- - balloon wrench;
- - cotton gloves.
Instructions
Step 1
Select the rims you want to install on your car. When selecting, pay attention to the diameter. Find out which discs with what maximum diameter can be installed on your machine. If you want to put them with a diameter slightly larger than the allowed one, then you will have to roll out the arches, otherwise, with the maximum turn of the steering wheel, the wheels will rub against the inside of the arch. Also, do not forget about the rubber that you will be using with the selected rims. When choosing discs of large diameter, purchase rubber with a low profile.
Step 2
Visit a tire shop. This is necessary in order to put rubber on purchased discs. Do not try to do it yourself! This procedure can only be performed using special equipment. Attempts to install the rubber on the wheels yourself will only lead to their damage. A visit to the tire shop will take you a little time.
Step 3
Park the machine on a level and clean area. Stop the engine and apply the parking brake. Place a jack under the body near the wheel. Begin to lift the machine gently until the wheel comes off the surface. Do not bully the car too much, as a rather large skew is formed.
Step 4
Take a wrench to fit the wheel bolts. Remove all plugs, if present. Loosen all the bolts in turn. This must be done very carefully so as not to accidentally damage the thread. Inspect each bolt after removing it.
Step 5
Remove the wheel from the hub by removing all bolts. Perform a close inspection of the hub and brake disc. Replace brake discs if necessary. Try on the wheel by putting it on the hub. If the new disc differs in width from the standard one, then use special spacers. In this case, you will have to secure the wheel with longer bolts.
Step 6
Tighten all the bolts in turn. Start with the top bolt. Tighten it not completely, now tighten the bolt on the opposite side. It also needs to be tightened not completely. Tighten each of the bolts alternately until they are fully seated in the socket. This procedure is necessary so that there is no skewing of the disc relative to the hub. Tighten the remaining bolts. Attach any end caps, if any.
Step 7
Replace the remaining three wheels using the diagram above. Do not forget to make a similar collapse after installing new disks.
