CAUTION
OR-FAB Inc. does not recommend any particular
wheel and tire combinations for use with its products
and cannot assume responsibility for the customer’s
choice of wheels and tires. Refer to your owner's
manual for recommended tire sizes and warnings
related to the use of oversized tires. Larger wheel and
tire combinations increase stress and wear on steering
and suspension components, which leads to increased
maintenance and higher risk for component failure.
Larger wheel and tire combinations also alter
speedometer calibration, braking effectiveness, center
of gravity, and handling characteristics. Consult an
experienced local off road shop to find what wheel and
tire combinations work best with your vehicle.
NOTE
All warranty information, instruction sheets, and other
documents regarding the installation of this product
must be retained by the vehicle owner. Information
contained in the instructions and on the warranty card
will be required for any warranty claims. The vehicle
owner needs to understand the modifications made to
the vehicle and how they affect vehicle handling and
performance. Failure to provide the customer with this
information can result in damage to the vehicle and
severe personal injury.
