Kia Picanto wheel fitment — I BA
Overview
The Kia Picanto (I) BA is a city car produced by South Korean manufacturer Kia from September 2003 to 2011. It was primarily manufactured at the Donghee joint-venture plant in Seosan, South Korea, and also locally assembled in Malaysia, Vietnam, and other markets. The vehicle adheres to the 'light car' category in South Korea with tax incentives for vehicles under specific dimensions. Based on a shortened platform of the Hyundai Getz, it features a five-door hatchback body style.
History & notable variants
The first generation Picanto was unveiled at the 2003 Frankfurt Motor Show and received minor updates in 2007 and 2009 to enhance its appeal in European markets. In Malaysia, it was sold as the Naza Suria or Naza Picanto with slight modifications.
Kia Picanto wheel fitment
Everything below is what the fit-check uses for Kia Picanto wheel fitment: the factory bolt spec first, then the width and offset window that clears the arches and the brakes on the Kia Picanto (I) BA.
| Bolt pattern (PCD) | 4x100 |
| Centre bore | 54.1 mm |
| Bolt / thread | M12x1.5 (nuts) |
| Seat type | tapered |
| Factory setup | square |

Aftermarket wheel sizes — read per position:
| Position | Width | Offset |
|---|---|---|
| Front | 4.5J–7J | ET33–ET46 |
As a rule, each extra 1J of width wants roughly +8 to 10 ET to keep the wheel tucked. The exact offset and any spacer are confirmed by the fit-check.
