WARNING

Professional Installation Required

For the purposes of these instructions, a "qualified professional" is a certified mechanic, vehicle technician, or wheel and tyre specialist who possesses the necessary training, experience, and tools to ensure correct installation and compliance with local regulations.

Where wheel fixings are supplied, they are selected using the best reasonably available vehicle and wheel fitment data, including vehicle thread specification and wheel seating requirements. However, vehicle specifications, modifications, previous repairs, and other variations mean that we cannot verify the exact configuration of every individual vehicle. The supplied fixings must therefore be checked by a qualified professional before installation to confirm that they are suitable for the specific vehicle and wheel, including thread size and pitch, seating type, length, and sufficient thread engagement.

Below are examples of key checks that must be performed by a qualified professional, including but not limited to:

For Alloy (or Steel) Wheels:

Ensure the load rating, PCD (pitch circle diameter), width, diameter, offset, and centre-bore (diameter and depth) are correct for the vehicle.
Confirm that tyres to be fitted are road-legal and meet local regulations, and that they are the correct type, load rating, speed rating, diameter, width, and profile for both the vehicle and the wheel.
Before fitting tyres, check for adequate clearance for brake, suspension, and steering components, and bodywork. Tyres must only be fitted once correct fitment and clearance have been confirmed.
Verify that all wheel fixings are suitable for both the vehicle and the wheel, including the correct thread size, thread pitch, seating type, length, and sufficient thread engagement.
For vehicles using wheel bolts, ensure the bolts do not bottom out in the hub or interfere with any brake or hub components.
Where capped (closed-end) wheel nuts are used, ensure there is clearance between the end of the wheel stud and the closed end of the wheel nut when the wheel is securely clamped.
Ensure tyres are inflated in accordance with both tyre and vehicle manufacturer’s recommendations.
After tyres have been fitted and inflated, re-check clearance for brake, suspension, and steering components, and bodywork to ensure safe operation under full steering and suspension travel.
Before installation, ensure all fixings and threaded holes are clean, free from debris, and undamaged.
Ensure fixings are torqued to the manufacturer’s specifications upon installation.
Ensure fixings are re-torqued after the first 50 miles (80 km) of driving.
Advise the customer to stop driving immediately if any vibrations, noises, or handling issues become apparent, and have the installation re-checked by a qualified professional.

4. Product Compatibility and Fitting Kits

Product Compatibility

Product and vehicle application information is based on vehicle and product data reasonably available to us at the time. Vehicle specifications, components and configurations may vary by model, year, production date, specification, market, previous modification or other factors.

Any compatibility information, application data, recommendation or advice provided by us does not replace the requirement for the Product to be checked against the individual vehicle before installation or use.

Where you provide us with vehicle information, including registration number, make, model, year, specification or other information, you are responsible for ensuring that the information supplied is complete and accurate and for informing us of any relevant modifications or non-standard components which may affect compatibility or fitment.

All Products must be inspected and, where appropriate, test-fitted by a qualified professional before final installation or use. The qualified professional must verify that the Product supplied is of the correct specification and is compatible with the particular vehicle and intended application.

Where applicable, compatibility checks must include dimensions, load rating, clearances, mounting or fixing requirements and any other characteristics relevant to the safe installation and use of the Product.

If any Product is found to be incompatible, incorrect or unsuitable, do not install or use it and contact us before installation or use.

Fitting Kits and Wheel Fixings

Where a fitting kit (including wheel nuts, bolts, studs, spigot rings or other fitting components) is supplied or recommended by us, it is selected using vehicle and product application data reasonably available to us at the time of supply.

The supply or recommendation of a fitting kit does not remove the requirement for the qualified professional to verify that the fitting components actually supplied are of the correct specification and compatible with the particular vehicle and wheel before installation.

Fitting kits and fitting components may be sourced from different manufacturers. Unless a particular brand or manufacturer is expressly stated as forming part of the Product specification, the brand, manufacturer, appearance or packaging of fitting components supplied may vary, provided that the component supplied is intended to meet the relevant specification and application.

The qualified professional must carry out the compatibility and installation checks set out in our Safety Instructions before the Products are used.

If any supplied fitting component is found to be incompatible, incorrect or unsuitable, do not install or use it and contact us before installation.

We will not be responsible for damage or other issues resulting from the installation or use of an incompatible Product, fitting kit or fitting component where the incompatibility should reasonably have been identified during the required professional compatibility and fitment checks.

Nothing in this section affects your statutory rights.
