- ✅ Avoid using universal fit wheels without hub-centric rings; they can cause vibration and stress on studs.
- ✅ Check for caliper clearance when using wheels with offset less than 35mm or greater than 45mm.
- ⚠️ Verify thread pitch before installation; M12x1.25 and M12x1.5 are not interchangeable.
- ⚠️ Confirm bolt pattern carefully. 5x114.3 is often confused with other common 5-lug patterns.
- ⚠️ Torque lugs in a star pattern to 80 ft-lbs (108 Nm), then re-check torque after 50-100 km (30-60 miles).
