Rev.<br><br> 01, Copyright 2/03 Performance Accessories CAUTION Performance Accessories does not recommend any particular wheel and tire combinations for use with its camber kit and cannot assume responsibility for the customer 9s choice of wheels and tires. Reference your owner's manual for recommended tire sizes and warn- ings 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.<br><br> Larger wheel and tire combinations also alter speedometer calibration, braking effectiveness, center of gravity, and handling characteristics. Consult with an experienced local off road shop to find what wheel and tire combinations work best with your vehicle.
