Installation instructions:

FXH Wheels comply with the technical standards for DOT and JWL that apply to light alloy wheels for motor vehicles. However, in the event vehicles are driven in non-conventional ways, such as racing, rallies, and offroad use, or are used after being damaged, FXH Wheels exempts its liability for legal suits claiming compensation and will take no responsibility.

Before installing wheels:

  1. Prior to mounting tires, please verify that the wheel size, number of holes, bolt circle diameter, offset, configuration of the mounting sides, and nuts are compatible with the vehicle. Then test fit the wheels to the hub to confirm clearance. Mounted wheels cannot be returned.
  2. Observe the load rating on the wheel. Do not exceed the vehicle weight or tire diameter specified.
  3. Remove any brake rotor clips that will not allow wheel to sit flat. (General Motors cars only)
  4. Check that the attachment nuts match the thread diameters and pitch on the vehicle. Also, the seats of the nuts that hold the wheels are of three types: tapered, rounded and flat. Should the shape of the nuts not match the wheel, they will not properly tighten and could come off while the vehicle is moving.
  5. Always use new accessory valves. If the valves are not properly inserted in the valve holes, air leaks may occur. Also, please do not reuse valves once they have been removed.
  6. After the tires are mounted, adjust the balance of all the wheels. Improper balance can cause vibration during driving. It is also advisable to have the wheels aligned.
  7. Tighten nuts to the recommended torque of the vehicle manufacturer. If an impact wrench is used, first tighten to a low torque and then use a torque wrench to tighten the lug nut to the recommended torque.

After the wheels are installed on the car:

  1. After the wheels have been fitted onto the vehicle, check that they do not come into contact with any part of the body or the suspension system. (When checking the front wheels, turn the steering wheel all the way left and right).
  2. Before driving, always check the air pressure in the tires.
  3. The lug nuts or bolts can become loose during the first 100mi/160km after the wheels are fitted or rotated. Use a torque wrench to make sure the nuts are at the recommended torque.
  4. FXH Wheels prohibits doing modifications to the wheels - including machining, welding or disassembling.

Modifications that include machining, welding or disassembling are extremely dangerous and can reduce the wheel strength or cause air leaks that can lead to broken parts or accidents. We will not acknowledge any claims concerning wheels that have been modified by the user.
