Subaru Forester: Aluminum wheels - Maintenance and service - Subaru Forester Owner's ManualSubaru Forester: Aluminum wheels

Aluminum wheels can be scratched and damaged easily. Handle them carefully to maintain their appearance, performance, and safety.

- When any of the wheels are removed and replaced for tire rotation or to change a flat tire, always check the tightness of the wheel nuts after driving approximately 600 miles (1,000 km). If any nut is loose, tighten it to the specified torque.

- Never apply oil to the threaded parts, wheel nuts, or tapered surface of the wheel.

- Never let the wheel rub against sharp protrusions or curbs.

- When wheel nuts, balance weights, or the center cap is replaced, be sure to replace them with genuine SUBARU parts designed for aluminum wheels.
