Lexus NX: Wheels
If a wheel is bent, cracked or heavily
corroded, it should be replaced.
Otherwise, the tire may separate
from the wheel or cause a loss of
handling control.
Wheel selection
When replacing wheels, care should
be taken to ensure that they are equivalent
to those removed in load capacity,
diameter, rim width and inset*.
Replacement wheels are available at
your Lexus dealer.
*: Conventionally referred to as offset.
Lexus does not recommend using the
following:
- Wheels of different sizes or types
- Used wheels
- Bent wheels that have been straightened
■When replacing wheels
The wheels of your vehicle are equipped
with tire pressure warning valves and transmitters
that allow the tire pressure warning
system to provide advance warning in the
event of a loss in tire inflation pressure.
Whenever wheels are replaced, tire pressure
warning valves and transmitters must
be installed.
WARNING
■When replacing wheels
- Do not use wheels that are a different
size from those recommended in the
Owner's Manual, as this may result in a
loss of handling control.
- Never use an inner tube in a leaking
wheel which is designed for a tubeless
tire. Doing so may result in an accident,
causing death or serious injury.
■Use of defective wheels prohibited
Do not use cracked or deformed wheels.
Doing so could cause the tire to leak air
during driving, possibly causing an accident.
NOTICE
■Replacing tire pressure warning
valves and transmitters
- Because tire repair or replacement
may affect the tire pressure warning
valves and transmitters, make sure to
have tires serviced by your Lexus
dealer or other qualified service shop.
In addition, make sure to purchase
your tire pressure warning valves and
transmitters at your Lexus dealer.
- Ensure that only genuine Lexus wheels
are used on your vehicle.
Tire pressure warning valves and transmitters
may not work properly with
non-genuine wheels.
Aluminum wheel precautions
- Use only Lexus wheel nuts and
wrenches designed for use with
your aluminum wheels.
- When rotating, repairing or changing
your tires, check that the wheel
nuts are still tight after driving 1000
miles (1600 km).
- Be careful not to damage the aluminum
wheels when using tire chains.
- Use only Lexus genuine balance
weights or equivalent and a plastic
or rubber hammer when balancing your wheels.
