Nissan Rogue Service Manual: Wheel and tire
Adjustment
BALANCING WHEELS (ADHESIVE WEIGHT TYPE)
Preparation Before Adjustment
Remove inner and outer balance weights from the wheel. Using releasing agent,
remove double-faced adhesive
tape from the wheel and tire.
CAUTION:
- Be careful not to scratch the wheel and tire during removal.
- After removing double-faced adhesive tape, wipe clean all
traces of releasing agent from the wheel
and tire.
Wheel Balance Adjustment
CAUTION:
- DO NOT use center hole cone-type clamping machines to hold the
wheel during tire removal/installation
or balancing or damage to the wheel paint, cladding or chrome may result.
Use only rim-type or
universal lug-type clamping machines to hold the wheel during servicing.
- If a balancer machine has an adhesive weight mode setting,
select the adhesive weight mode setting and
skip Step 2 below. If a balancer machine only has the clip-on (rim flange)
weight mode setting, follow Step 2
to calculate the correct size adhesive weight.
- Set wheel and tire on balancer machine using the center hole as a
guide. Start the balancer machine.
- For balancer machines that only have a clip-on (rim flange) weight mode
setting, follow this step to calculate
the correct size adhesive weight to use. When inner and outer imbalance
values are shown on the
balancer machine indicator, multiply outer imbalance value by 5/3 (1.67) to
determine balance weight that
should be used. Select the outer balance weight with a value closest to the
calculated value above and
install in to the designated outer position of or at the designated angle in
relation to the wheel and tire.
- Indicated imbalance value × 5/3 (1.67) = balance weight to be
installed
Calculation example:
23 g (0.81 oz) × 5/3 (1.67) = 38.33 g (1.35 oz) ⇒ 40 g (1.41 oz)
balance weight (closer to calculated balance weight value)
NOTE:
Note that balance weight value must be closer to the calculated
balance weight value.
Example:
37.4 ⇒ 35 g (1.23 oz)
37.5 ⇒ 40 g (1.41 oz)

- Install balance weight in the position shown.
CAUTION:
- Do not install the inner balance weight before installing
the outer balance weight.
- Before installing the balance weight, be sure to clean the
mating surface of the wheel and tire.
- When installing balance weight (1) to wheel and tire, set it
into
the grooved area (A) on the inner wall of the wheel and tire as
shown so that the balance weight center (B) is aligned with the
balancer machine indication position (angle) (C).
CAUTION:
- Always use Genuine NISSAN adhesive balance weights.
- Balance weights are non-reusable; always replace with
new ones.
- Do not install more than three sheets of balance
weights.

- If calculated balance weight value exceeds 50 g (1.76 oz), install
two balance weight sheets in line with each other as shown.
CAUTION:
Do not install one balance weight sheet on top of another.
- Start balancer machine again.
- Install balance weight on inner side of wheel and tire in the
balancer
machine indication position (angle).
CAUTION:
Do not install more than two balance weights.
- Start balancer machine. Make sure that inner and outer residual
imbalance values are 5 g (0.17 oz) each or below.
- If either residual imbalance value exceeds 5 g (0.17 oz), repeat
installation procedures.

TIRE ROTATION
WARNING:
- Do not include the spare tire (if equipped) when rotating
tires.
- After rotating tires, check and adjust the tire pressure.
CAUTION:
- When installing wheel nuts, tighten them diagonally by
dividing the work two to three times in order to prevent the
wheels from developing any distortion.
- Be careful not to tighten the wheel nuts to a torque exceeding
specification to prevent strain on the
disc brake rotor.
- Use Genuine NISSAN wheel nuts.

Wheel nut tightening torque : WT-65, "Wheel"
- Perform the ID registration after tire rotation. Refer to WT-21, "Work
Procedure".
