2006 mustang wheel question

VirginiaStang06 · 02-03-2009

So i got new wheels for christmas, but havn't put them on due to the chemicals they put on the roads. Well i can't wait ANY longer lol so hopefully they are going on this weekend. I was wondering if i have to do anything other than remove the bolts and replace the wheel with the new. This is probably a dumb question, but im not looking to mess anything up

thanks guys!

if you have the tpms you need to put those on the new rims so your sensor doesnt go off.

The 2006 does not have tpms.
If the wheel size is the same, nothing special has to be done.
Make sure you torque them down in a cris cross pattern.

1) Remove lugnuts and remove crap original wheels
2) Slide new super awesome rims on
3) Tighten lugs in a criss-cross to the correct torque specs (don't over tighten)
4) Enjoy your styliin' new mega bad-@ss Stang

5) Check the torque again after a few hundred miles

they are 18's instead of 17's if that makes a difference. Thanks for the replies guys!
