• Install Mounting Brackets (if applicable): Some kits may include small brackets that attach to the wheel studs. Follow the instruction sheet for specific placement and tightening of these brackets.
• Position the Simulator: Carefully align the simulator with the wheel studs and the bolt circle pattern. The front simulators will typically have a more shallow dish compared to the deeper dish of the rear simulators designed to contour the wheel.
• Secure the Simulator: Using the provided hardware (usually nuts or bolts), attach the simulator to the wheel studs or the previously installed mounting brackets. Tighten the hardware evenly and securely, following the torque specifications in the instruction sheet if provided.
• Install Center Caps: Once the simulator is securely attached, align and snap the pop-out center caps into the designated openings on both the front and rear simulators. Ensure they are firmly in place.
• Final Check: Double-check that all simulators are securely mounted and the center caps are properly installed. Ensure no parts are loose or rattling.
