Simpson recommends a six-step procedure that any professional installer can do for you. Following this guide will ensure that the new wheels fit the tires and that the new wheel-tire combination fits the truck.

1. Place the truck on a lift rack and raise it off the floor. Remove one front wheel.
2. Clean the mounting surface on the hub with a wire brush and remove any retainer (spring) clips.
3. Hold the aftermarket wheel (no tire) on the hub and check for a flush mount. The mounting surface of the wheel must fit flush to the hub mounting surface. The back side of the wheel must not rest against any obstructions such as the brake caliper, suspension components, balance weights, or rivets.
4. Install three lug nuts and hand.tighten. Rotate the wheel and fully turn the steering wheel in both directions to ensure complete clearance.
5. Repeat the above steps on the rear of the vehicle. (The one exception is that you won’t need to turn the steering wheel.)
6. Finally, mount the tires to the new wheels and install all four on the truck. Lower the truck to the foot This will put the vehicle in a “true” ride position because the weight of the truck will settle on the tires, causing them to spread closer to underbody components. Make sure tires and wheels aren’t in contact with suspension or other components.
