Kia Niro wheel fitment — Hybrid I DE
Kia Niro wheel fitment
Kia Niro wheel fitment comes down to two things: the factory hub spec, and how far the aftermarket width and offset can move from it. Both are here for the Kia Niro Hybrid (I) DE (2016–present).
| Bolt pattern (PCD) | 5x114.3 |
| Centre bore | 67.1 mm |
| Bolt / thread | M12x1.5 (nuts) |
| Seat type | tapered |
| Factory setup | square |
| TPMS | direct |
Aftermarket wheel sizes — read per position:
| Position | Width | Offset |
|---|---|---|
| Front | 6.5J–8.5J | ET30–ET50 |
Width and offset move together: roughly 8 to 10 ET more for every extra 1J keeps the wheel inside the arch. Final offset and any spacer come from the fit-check.
