Factory Bus nuts are shaped for the factory steel wheel and do not match this wheel's narrow 14mm 60° seat, so a wrong nut only touches on a thin ring and can work loose. Use the matching EMPI nuts. A loaded Bay is heavy, so pair this wheel with Bus-rated Load Range C tires; EMPI does not publish a load rating for the wheel itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003e\u003cb\u003eInstall Notes\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConfirm your Bus is 5x112 (1971 and later, disc front brakes) before ordering.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTest-fit before mounting a tire: check caliper, grease cap and rear axle nut clearance.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTorque to your factory manual spec in a star pattern and re-check after the first 50 miles.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003e\u003cb\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eWill the EMPI dish wheel fit my 1973 Bay Window Bus?\u003c\/b\u003e Yes.
