WHEELS
Your vehicle is equipped with unique
wheels matched to the tires. To avoid
damage to your wheels:
•
Maintain proper tire pressure. See
Tire
Care
(page 38).
•
Due to extreme tire/wheel width, this
vehicle cannot be taken through an
automatic car wash that uses
mechanical tracks, as wheel damage
may result.
•
When installing wheels, always torque
lug nuts to specification with a torque
wrench.
•
Inspect your wheels for damage on a
regular basis. If you have a damaged
wheel, replace it immediately.
•
In the event that you encounter an
abnormally harsh impact, inspect the
outside tire wall of your wheels, both
inside and out, for damage.
Optional Bead-Lock Compatible
Wheel
Note:
Ford Performance only recommends
using bead-lock rings from Ford
Performance Parts, in conjunction with the
OEM tire. Any other combination using this
wheel could result in air loss or tire failure.
Note:
Converting the bead-lock compatible
wheel to true bead-locks is for off-road use
only. On road driving is not permitted.
If your vehicle is equipped with the optional
bead lock compatible wheel, you have the
ability to convert this wheel to use a true
bead-lock ring, which allows operation at
low tire pressures when off-road to
minimize risk of de-beading the tire. See
your local Ford Performance Parts Dealer
for more information.
TIRE CARE
WARNINGS
Always re-inflate tires to
recommended tire pressures
before the vehicle is operated
on-road. The recommended
pressure is located on the tire
label or safety certification label,
located on the B-pillar, inside the
driver's door.
After off-road use, before
returning to the road, check
the wheels and tires for damage.
Off-road use may cause damage
to your wheels and tires that can
lead to tire failure, loss of vehicle
control, serious injury or death.
Replace the wheels and tires
with the exact original brand,
size and construction that came
originally on your vehicle. Use of
any other wheel or tire
combinations, even with identical
size ratings, may result in
insufficient running clearances,
tire rubbing and eventual
puncture. Failure to follow tire
replacement recommendations
can lead to tire failure, loss of
vehicle control, serious injury or
death.
Note:
If you have reduced your tire
pressure for off-road use, the tire
pressure monitoring system
(TPMS) warning light then
activates in the instrument panel
as a reminder to re-inflate the tires
before returning to the road.
