Wheel bolts
The wheel bolts hold the wheel in place on the wheel hub.
Only use rims that have been tested and approved by Polestar and are included in Polestar's original product range.
Use a torque wrench to check that the wheel bolts are tightened correctly.
Do not grease the wheel bolt threads.
Warning
The wheel bolts may need to be tightened again several days after a wheel change. Temperature fluctuations and vibrations can cause them to loosen slightly.
Important
The wheel bolts should be tightened to 140 Nm (103 ft. lbs.). Over-tightening or under-tightening could damage the threaded joints.
Locking wheel bolts*
To loosen or tighten the locking wheel bolts, turn the wrench in the locking bolt until it fully engages in the code grooves. When removing a wheel, always start with the locking wheel bolts. When installing a wheel, attach using the locking wheel bolt.
Important
Make sure you have a solid connection between bolt and wheel bolt key when loosening/tightening the wheel bolts. Applying force at an angle could damage the key groove in the wheel bolt and the wheel bolt key and make it impossible to install or remove the wheel.
Use a lug wrench designed for the vehicle. If you have a lug wrench1, it should be stowed in its designated spot in the storage space under the frunk when not in use.
