Kia Carens wheel fitment — FC
Overview
The third generation Kia Carens, also known as RP, debuted at the 2012 Paris Motor Show. It was manufactured from March 2013 to 2019 and offered in both five-seat and seven-seat configurations. The model featured a range of engine options including petrol and diesel variants paired with manual or automatic transmissions. Sales began in South Korea in March 2013, followed by other markets worldwide. In North America, the third generation Kia Rondo was only available in Canada after discontinuation in the United States due to slow sales.

Start with the hub. The Kia Carens FC spec table gives the bolt pattern and bore; the second table is the aftermarket window for Kia Carens wheel fitment.
| Bolt pattern (PCD) | 4x114.3 |
| Centre bore | 67.1 mm |
| Bolt / thread | M12x1.5 (nuts) |
| Seat type | tapered |
| Factory setup | square |

Aftermarket wheel sizes — read per position:
| Position | Width | Offset |
|---|---|---|
| Front | 5.5J–8J | ET30–ET45 |
Go wider and the offset has to rise with it, about 8 to 10 ET per extra 1J, or the wheel pokes past the arch. The fit-check settles the exact offset and any spacer.
