Setup and Installation

Proper installation is critical for the safety and performance of your vehicle. It is highly recommended that wheel installation be performed by a certified professional.

1. Pre-Installation Check: Before mounting tires, test fit the wheels on your vehicle to ensure proper clearance and fitment. Once tires are mounted, wheels are considered used and may not be returnable.
2. Inspect Components: Verify that all components, including lug nuts (conical seat type, standard), valve stems, and center caps, are present and undamaged.
3. Prepare Vehicle: Park the vehicle on a level surface, engage the parking brake, and loosen the lug nuts on the wheel to be replaced. Lift the vehicle using a jack and secure it with jack stands.
4. Remove Old Wheel: Fully remove the lug nuts and carefully take off the old wheel.
5. Clean Hub Surface: Clean any rust, dirt, or debris from the vehicle's hub mounting surface to ensure a flush fit.
6. Mount New Wheel: Carefully place the new Fuel Beast D564 wheel onto the hub. Ensure it sits flush against the mounting surface.
7. Install Lug Nuts: Hand-tighten the lug nuts in a star pattern until they are snug.
8. Lower Vehicle: Lower the vehicle until the wheel just touches the ground, preventing it from spinning while allowing access to the lug nuts.
9. Torque Lug Nuts: Using a torque wrench, tighten the lug nuts to the vehicle manufacturer's specified torque in a star pattern. Repeat this process two to three times to ensure even and proper seating.
10. Final Lowering: Fully lower the vehicle and remove the jack and jack stands.
11. Re-torque Check: After driving approximately 50-100 miles, re-check the lug nut torque to ensure they remain properly tightened.

Operating Considerations

Once installed, your Fuel Beast D564 wheels are designed for standard passenger car use. Observe the following:

• Load Capacity: Do not exceed the wheel's maximum load index of 2500.
• Speed Rating: Adhere to the tire's speed rating and local speed limits. The wheel itself has a speed rating of 'Y'.
• Driving Conditions: Avoid harsh impacts with potholes or curbs, which can damage wheels and tires.

Maintenance

Regular maintenance will preserve the appearance and structural integrity of your wheels.

• Cleaning: Clean wheels regularly with mild soap and water. Avoid abrasive cleaners, harsh chemicals, or stiff brushes that can damage the finish. Rinse thoroughly and dry with a soft cloth.
• Inspection: Periodically inspect wheels for any signs of damage, such as cracks, bends, or corrosion. Address any issues promptly.
• Tire Pressure: Maintain correct tire pressure as specified by your vehicle manufacturer.
• Lug Nut Torque: Re-check lug nut torque periodically, especially after tire rotations or any service involving wheel removal.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues, consider the following common solutions:

• Vibration: If you experience vibration after wheel installation, it could be due to improper balancing, uneven lug nut torque, or a bent wheel. Have the wheels professionally balanced and re-torqued. Inspect for damage.
• Loose Lug Nuts: Always re-check lug nut torque after the first 50-100 miles of driving and periodically thereafter.
• Air Leakage: Ensure valve stems are properly installed and undamaged. Check for any visible damage to the tire bead or wheel rim.
